Pacific Yellow-Throat
681c. Geothlypis trichas arizela. 5¼ inches.
Range.—The Pacific coast. Habits, nest and eggs same as above.
Long-Tailed Chat
683a. Icteria virens longicauda. 7½ inches.
Range.—Western United States, breeding from British Columbia to Mexico. They are an attractive bird both in looks and habits. They are great singers, but nature seemed to give them no special song of their own, and they make good attempts to mimic the song of any bird in their locality, and keep continually at it. They like the bramble and vine-covered hillsides, where it is hard to obtain a sight of the bird. They build their nests in the thickest of such places a few feet from the ground, made up of shreds of vines, leaves and twigs, lined with grass. Four white eggs, spotted with fine dots of shades of brown (.90 ×.70).
