 Jan., 1908 NORTHWESTERN COLORADO BIRD NOTES 23 is partly accounted for by the fact that at many places we were away from trees such as they like. 48. Euphagus cyan0cephalus. Brewer Blackbird. I saw the first at Sulphur Springs May 1. After that they were seen everywhere we went and were usually very common. Nests and eggs were found at Steamboat Springs June 1 to 8. 49. Carp0dacus cassini. Cassin Finch. Seen at Grand Lake; near Sheephorn Pass; at Douglas Spring; at Mud Springs; and at Boreas Pass. 50. Leuc0sticte atrata. Black Leucosticte. One was seen April 6 at Sulphur Springs in company with a large flock of Juncos. It was storming and snowing at the time. 51. Leuc0sticte australis. Brown-capped Leucosticte. Seen only at Boreas Pass, in early August. 52. Acanthis linaria. Redpoll. April 14, I saw four at Sulphur Springs. 53. Astragalinus tristis. Goldfinch. One or two seen with flocks of Pine Linnets several miles below Steamboat Springs, and also, if I remember correctly, near McCoy. 54. Spinus pinus. Pine Linnet.

Seen at only a few places: near the lower bridge over Snake River, and between there and Lily; near Wolcott; near Pando Station, on Eagle River, 9,200 feet; and near Florissant. This is another bird which should have been seen more frequently. 58. Zonotrichia leucophrys. White-crowned Sparrow. First one seen at Sul- phur Springs May 2.

At Boreas Pass many were seen among the dwarf spruces at timberline, 12,000 feet, and some acted as if they had nests or young about, tho I could find none. This was on August 4. 59. Spizella socialis arizona,. Western Chipping Sparrow. Seen at many places between McCoy and the end of the trip. 60. Spizella breweri. Brewer Sparrow.
