SOME LAND BIRDS OF TILLAMOOK COUNTY, OREGON

later found three old nests under the eaves of the hotel and outbuildings. During the 
summer of 1914 they were common all along the coast. 
Hi run do erythrogastra. Barn Swallow. This species is equally as common as the 
last. During the summer of 1912 several pairs had their nests stuck to the wall under 
the porches on the hotel at Netarts. On June 8, 1914, I saw a nest placed well up to 
the peak against the gable end of a house in Garibaldi. 
Iridoprocne bicolor. Tree Swallow. Op April 10, 1914, a fair-sized flock was seen 
on the Tillamook River bridge on the Netarts road. On the 16th of April several were 
seen fluttering about cavities in dead spruce trees in an old barn near Netarts. 
Tachycineta thalassina lepida. Northern Violet-green Swallow. Very common 
around buildings in Tillamook during May, 1913. The first ones arrived at Netarts on 
March 10, 1913, and soon after that date they became common. 
Bombycilla cedrorum. Cedar Waxwing. O. J. Murie reports a small flock of these 
birds on the camp ground at Netarts during the first week of September, 1913. On 
August 14, 1914, I saw several catching flies over a small lake near Nelialem. 
Vireosylva gilva swainsoni. Western Warbling Vireo. This species is not as com- 
mon as might be expected. One was taken in a second growth spruce thicket at Netarts 
on May 17, 1913, and another was seen in the alders along Tillamook River on May 25. 
Lanivireo solitarius cassini. Cassin Vireo. This species is fairly common in the 
timbered sections of the county. On June 8, 1914, several were seen on the hills back 
of Garibaldi. They were common near Tillamook during May, 1913. 
Vireo huttoni obscurus. Anthony Vireo. The only records we have of this species 
are of specimens taken during the winter or early spring months. Two were secured 
in the spruce woods back of Netarts on March 12, 1913. One was secured in the timber 
on Cape Lookout on February 9, 1915. 
Vermivora celata lutescens. Lutescent Warbler. This is one of the characteristic 
summer birds of the brushy creek banks and sparsely wooded pasture lands. They are 
usually found in deciduous woods, but sometimes are seen feeding high up in spruce 
trees. Two nests were located. One, May 11, 1913, at Tillamook, was on the ground in a 
heavy growth of moss, and contained four incubated eggs when found. A nest contain- 
ing four fresh eggs was found, well concealed by a mass of dead ferns, in a rather open 
pasture at Netarts on May 14. On April 10, 1914, I found these warblers common in 
the alder and willow thickets near Netarts. 
Dendroica aestiva brewsteri. California Yellow Warbler. A few were seen in the 
alders and willows along Trask and Wilson rivers during May, 1913. 
Dendroica auduboni auduboni. Audubon Warbler. A common species during the 
early spring and summer. They frequent the spruce and pine woods near the ocean 
beach in great numbers during the month of May. A specimen was taken and others 
seen near Netarts on January 4, 1914. 
Dendroica townsendi. Townsend Warbler. During May, 1913, this species was 
often heard singing high up in the spruce trees near Tillamook. An adult male was seen 
in a spruce tree at Tillamook on May 10. Two more were seen in the spruce forest at 
Netarts on May 17. 
Dendroica occidentalis. Hermit Warbler. I found this species not uncommon in 
the spruce forests near Tillamook, during May, 1913. They were first seen on May 10, 
and later became common. On May 24 a male and female were seen in a grove of tall, 
second-growth spruces. This pair showed every evidence of breeding. A single indi- 
vidual of this species was seen at Nehalem on August 16, 1914. 
Oporornis tolmiei. Macgillivray Warbler. A few were seen in the thick under- 
growth along the streams near Tillamook during May, 1913. 
Geothlypis trichas arizela. Pacific Yellowthroat. Fairly common in all suitable 
places throughout the county. A pair seen in a small marsh near Tillamook on May 
17, 1913, were evidently nesting at the time. 
Wilsonia pusilla chryseola. Golden Pileolated Warbler. These warblers are very 
common summer residents all over the county. On September 1, 1912, they were very 
common at Netarts, but they had all migrated by the 10th. I found them plentiful at 
Tillamook during May, 1913, and at Garibaldi in June, 1914. 
Anthus rubescens. Pipit. A specimen was secured by O. J. Murie during a snow- 
storm on January 6, 1913, at Netarts. I found a small flock wintering on the Netarts 
sandspit during January and February, 1915.
