Note 30 — The Birds of Washington (continued 6)

Much clearer testimony is required on this point. Oberholser, op. cit., p. 839, cites a record for Colton in Whitman County, but I have never seen this form in Yakima County; and it would seem remarkable that a bird should forsake the mild climate of Tacoma to endure the more severe winters and less certain food supply of the East-side.
