young, July 17, and on July 22 first juveniles seen on wing. Two days 
later a flock of old and young watched working over Teal pond. Birds 
left nesting locality very soon after young took wing and species almost 
absent in August, though a few scattered individuals seen as late as 
August 7. 
Specimens: Male, McCarthy, Alaska, May 11. Female, May 27. 
Referred to T. t. lepida on geographic probability. 
65. Bombycilla garrula (Linnaeus) Bohemian Waxwing 
First seen June 21, when a small flock of six or seven were encountered 
on top of a high burned bluff at edge of woods. From this date seen fairly 
often up and down valley and always haunting vicinity of Teal pond, 
where they doubtless nested. Their favourite perches burned trees at 
edge of green timber. On July 31 two of these beautiful chaps found in 
limits of timber above Trail End. Largest daily number noted forty-two, 
in two flocks, July 24. 
First juveniles seen taken July 22. Streaked breasts of young notice- 
able at considerable distance. Of two juveniles, male and female, taken 
on this date, “the female seemed more advanced than the male in regard 
to the black markings of the head. The bill of female is dark olive-grey; 
the toes and tarsus lighter — the back of tarsus and sole yellowish-grey. 
The bill and feet of male are blackish. In both sexes the red wax tips are 
four in each wing, but they still show subdivision and are very slender.” 
Bohemian noted catching insect prey on wing just as cedar waxwing 
does. Also found feasting on juicy red fruit of alpine bearberry. 
Specimens: Adult male and female, June 21 and August 13. Three juveniles, July 
22 to August 10. 
Juveniles in soft, fawn plumage and undoubtedly raised nearby. Unable to form any 
useful opinion as to validity of proposed American race B. g. pallidiceps. 
66. Lanius borealis Vieillot Northern Shrike 
On August 2 an angry rumpus from whiskey jacks drew attention to 
fact that a shrike, a juvenile, was badgering them about camp. On 
August 17, in scattered woods at point of Barnard glacier, a family of 
these birds encountered. Probably had nested in valley. 
Specimen: Juvenile male, August 2. 
Juvenile with skull partly granulated. Heavily vermiculated below and above. 
In changing plumage, going from a general dull reddish brown into clear grey. 
Judging from eastern material early plumages of this species rather variable. Birds 
that come down to southern Ontario in winter have brownish mouse-coloured backs, some 
deep enough to be brown rather than grey and others lighter, decidedly grey, and only 
tinged with brown . Possibly racial distinctions, but writer would not care to regard them 
as such until distinct breeding ranges demonstrated for the several variations. 
This Mount Logan specimen going from one of these darker brownish states into a 
very light grey — considerably lighter than that shown by others in collection, except one 
from Revelstoke, British Columbia, April 17, 1890. Wing longer (4-7 inches) than that 
of any other specimen writer has for comparison, but is equalled in this character by two 
others he has examined from Didsbury, Alberta, that also show somewhat lighter than 
normal. All this supports proposed race L. b . inviclus and until contrary evidence 
produced he refers this specimen to that form.
