CREEPERS: ROCKY MOUNTAIN CREEPER 
529 
birds and the young of the year taken August 14, 1903, at 11,600 feet and the next 
day at 12,000 feet on Pecos Baldy (Bailey), were undoubtedly hatched in the Pecos 
Mountains, but possibly at an altitude many hundred feet lower; while the birds 
seen August 16, 1903, at 9,500 feet in the Capitan Mountains (Gaut), were probably 
also summer residents.

In the fall migration, the species spreads into central New Mexico, where it 
was seen once in the Manzano Mountains at 8,100 feet (Gaut); was fairly common 
in the Gila Forest Reserve (Ligon); in the upper Jemez Mountains, August 25- 
September 3, 1906; in the Mogollon Mountains among the spruces from Willow 
Creek, 8,500 feet to the top of the divide, 9,400 feet, October 16-31, 1906; and 
the next week in the live oak and mesquite at Glenwood, 5,000 feet (Bailey); early 
in November, 1909, at 9,000 feet near Kingston (Goldman); and one near there 
on Sawyer’s Peak as early as August 2, 1904 (Metcalfe).
