It seems strange that there is no record of this bird for Colorado, when 
there are three specimens in the Bond collection, taken at Cheyenne, Wyom¬ 
ing, April 24, 1888, and it was undoubtedly seen there by Rev. F. N. White, 
April 29, 1899. It is unreasonable not to suppose that these birds crossed 
Colorado to reach Cheyenne. Moreover they are said to be: “Rare in eastern 
Kansas, common in the western part of the State.”—(Lantz.) It is practically 
certain then that they occur in eastern Colorado, and that before long some 
one will find them there.]

Mr. Blanchard has taken nests on Boulder Creek four miles 
above Boulder at about 5,500. Two sets were taken, May 6 
and May 12, 1898. All the sets he ever found in that locality 
were between May 1 and May 15. It is thus evident that these 
birds at the lower altitude nested earlier than is customary at 
the usual altitude. 
Mr. Carter found the Dipper breeding at Breckenridge.

Mr. Carter has found them at Dillon at 9,000 feet, but does 
not know of their breeding higher than Middle Park.

The present writer saw two at the San Luis Lakes and one 
at La Jara on June 17 and 18, 1898. Mr. D. E. Newcomb of La 
Jara says that some years he sees them several times; other years 
they are absent. Miss Myra Eggleston reports them as breeding 
at Grand Junction. This completes the record for the whole 
southern half of Colorado, from Kansas to Utah. 
There is one in the Carter collection, taken at Breckenridge 
August 12, 1891. This is 1,500 feet higher than any previous 
record, and was undoubtedly a wanderer.

The date of nesting should read the latter part of May, 
instead of June. 
Mr. Carter reports it as a rare breeder in Middle Park.
