BIRDS OF COLORADO. 
Page 72. 312. Columba fasciata. Band-tailed Pigeon. 
Quite common and breeds in the mountains near Glenwood 
Springs, showing that its regular extension west of the range is 
rather further to the north than on the eastern slope.

Under a late date, Mr. B. L. Berthoud writes concerning 
his record of this species, ‘‘Besides the record of 1869, when we 
shot one or two, J have seen two small flocks since. There was 
no mistaking this bird.”

In August, 1877, two were brought in the flesh to Mr. C. B. 
Aiken, one had been shot at Colorado Springs and the other at 
Manitou Park. One was also shot in August, 1883. These 
were probably all wanderers that had nested outside of Colorado.

According to Mr. C. B. Aiken a pair nested for five con¬ 
secutive years in the Garden of the Gods. He secured one of 
the old birds in 1885.

They are very common spring and summer at Sweet Water 
Bake in the mountains east of Glenwood Springs at 8,000 feet, 
writes Mr. B. D. Gilmore.

Three more records near Pueblo are added by Mr. W. F 
Doertenbach — a fine male killed and mounted by him August 
12, 1897, one other in 1889 and a third in 1891.

Richardson’s Owl. 
Winter visitant; rare. The only certain record for Colo¬ 
rado is the male taken by Mr. H. C. Bee Meyer at Crested 
Butte, October 14, 1896. Through the courtesy of Mr. W. F. 
Doertenbach of Pueblo, the present writer had the pleasure a 
few days ago of examining this specimen and there can be no 
question of the identification.

Mr. Aiken writes that this form occurs at Colorado Springs 
in winter, but not in summer.
