Resident. A common species of eastern United States, west 
to Nebraska and Kansas, now first added to Colorado birds by 
the following note from Mr. C. E. Aiken: 
“In March, 1897, Mr. B. G. Voight found a pair of these 
Owls breeding near Holyoke, in the northeast corner of the state. 
Two eggs, somewhat incubated, and one of the birds were 
secured.”

A second specimen for Colorado is the one taken by Mr. 
Carter at Breckenridge, December 28, 1882, and now in his col¬ 
lection.

Mr. Carter’s collection contains an adult taken at Brecken¬ 
ridge and also a young-of-the-year taken there August 10, 1884. 
Though Mr. Carter has seen no nests at Breckenridge, there can 
be little doubt that they breed there.
