THE CONDOR 
Vol. XI 
with five eggs; and the same day, several hundred yards away, found a single fresh 
egg lying on the grass. 
Euphagus cyanocephalus. Brewer Blackbird. A common summer resident. 
Carpodacus cassinii. Cassin Finch. Common at Coventry in winter only. I 
saw it at both Coventry and Bedrock in 190S. 
Acanthis linaria. Redpoll. Occasional at Coventry in winter (Smith). 
Astragalinus tristis. American Goldfinch. Taken at Bedrock in 1908. 
Astragalinus psaltria. Arkansas Goldfinch. Taken at Bedrock. 
Spinus pinus. Pine Linnet. Not common (Smith). 
Passer domesticus. House Sparrow. At Coventry and Norwood, many at 
some ranches. They first came to Norwood four years ago, and to Smith’s a year 
ago. 
Pocecetes gramineus confinis. Western Vesper Sparrow. A common summer 
resident; at Coventry the commonest sparrow. 
Chondestes grammacus strigatus. Western Lark Sparrow. A summer resident 
thruout the region; not very common at Coventry. While a number were seen 
about ten miles west of Coventry, April 24, 1908, none were seen about that place 
until May 1 . The whole intervening time was cold and chilly, and this may have 
stopped the birds’ movements. I should say that during this week I was daily 
over ground which would be frequented by the birds, and saw none. 
Zonotrichia leucophrys and Z. 1. gambeli. White-crowned and Intermediate 
Sparrows. A few 7 seen, not common (Smith). He finds it difficult to distinguish 
between the two in the field, but most likely both occur, tho only during the mi- 
grations. The only specimen I took (at Bedrock) was gambeli. 
Spizella socialis arizonae. Western Chipping Sparrow 7 . A common summer 
resident; arrives about the middle of April. 
Spizella breweri. Brew r er Sparrow. A common summer resident at Coventry, 
living in the sagebrush. 
Junco hyemalis connectens. Intermediate Junco. Taken by myself at Co- 
ventry. 
Junco hyemalis mearnsi. Pink-sided Junco. Taken at both Coventry and 
Bedrock. One seen near Coventry as late as April 29, 1908. 
Junco phaeonotus caniceps. Gray-headed Junco. Taken at Coventry in 1906. 
Amphispiza bilineata deserticola. Desert Sparrow. Was quite common at 
Bedrock after April 17, when I took the first, tho I am inclined to think I saw 7 
some tw r o or three days previously. It does not get up as far as Coventry, at least 
Smith does not know it, and he knows the next species w 7 ell. 
Amphispiza nevadensis. Sage Sparrow. A common summer resident at 
Coventry ( Smith ) . 
Melospiza melodia montana. Mountain Song Sparrow 7 . Rather rare (Smith). 
I saw 7 two in Maverick Draw, about three miles from Coventry, in 1908. 
Pipilo maculatus montanus. Mountain Towhee. A common summer resident 
(Smith). I saw 7 it at Bedrock, Naturita and Coventry. 
Oreospiza chlorura. Green-tailed Towhee. Common, especially in migration. 
The majority breed higher than Coventry (Smith). 
Zamelodia melanocephala. Black-headed Grosbeak. A common summer resi- 
dent, breeds near Coventry (Smith). 
Passerina amoena. Lazuli Bunting. Rare; breeds in Naturita and Maverick 
Canons (Smith). 
Calamospiza melanocorys. Lark Bunting. Not very common; does not seem 
to breed at Coventry (Smith).
