An adult male was taken in July, 1889, at Florissant, by 
Dr. J. ly. Goodale, now of Boston, Mass The specimen is still 
in his collection, but its capture has not before been recorded. 
Mr. David Bruce of Brockport, N. Y., took one on the Grand 
River, near Glenwood Springs, during June, 1897. The bird 
was seen several times and was evidently breeding. 
The above records are the only unquestionable ones that 
this species has for Colorado. They confirm the previously 
accepted belief that the bird is a summer resident in Colorado.

A second record for Colorado is that of Mr. H. W. Nash 
who saw one at Pueblo about November 28, 1895.

Grosbeak. 
Summer resident; rare, if not accidental. It is with some 
hesitation that the present species is given a place in the Colo¬ 
rado list and yet after most careful investigation there seems 
scant possibility of error. In the summer of 1894 a pair nested 
near the house of Mrs. J. W. Bacon, Longmont. The male was 
several times seen at a distance of less than twenty-five feet and 
the rose color distinctly noted. Later the same bird was seen 
on the lawn feeding the newly fledged young. One of the lat¬ 
ter was caught.

Blue Grosbeak. 
Not an uncommon bird as far north as Pueblo and breeds 
in the foothills as far up as Beulah where Mr. P. L. Jones took 
four nests in 1897. Farther north at Colorado Springs it still 
occurs regularly though not common. North of there, the only 
record is that of one taken by Mr. H. G. Smith east of Mor¬ 
rison.

There are no records of this bird breeding in Colorado be¬ 
low 6,000 feet, but in northeastern Wyoming at Sundance, Prof. 
Knight found it in 1897 breeding at 4,500 feet. 
Page no. 608. Piranga erythromelas. Scarlet Tanager. 
Migratory; rare. The brackets can now be removed from 
this species and it be entered as a Colorado bird. A few weeks
