to be young-of-the-year, but were not captured for certain identi¬

as resident in Colorado.

Crossbill. 
A female or young-of-the-year male was seen by the present 
writer at Lamar, July 15, 1898. It seemed in perfect health and 
was probably an accidental wanderer who found himself here on 
the plains, one hundred and fifty miles east of the foothills. 
Breeds at Breckenridge.

All four of these species have been taken in migration at 
Breckenridge by Mr. Carter, while the Brown-capped Leucosticte 
is an abundant breeder on the mountain tops above Brecken¬ 
ridge.

Mr. Carter considers this a rare bird at Breckenridge, where 
he has seen it only in migration.

classed among the migrants according to the present record.
