Two New Birds for Colorado
I wish to record two more species of birds new to the State of Colorado.
First, the Lapland Longspur (Calcarius lapponicus lapponicus). Two of these birds were taken December 28, 18 miles northeast of Denver; one of them identified by Mr. Oberholser.
Second, the Sierra Hermit Thrush (Hylocichla guttata sequoiensis). Four of these birds have been taken in Colorado and three of them identified by Mr. Oberholser. One was taken on the Arkansas River, May 16, near Holly; one taken near Golden, May 2, and the other two taken west of the range near Granby on October 7, thus proving that they sometimes pass through Colorado both fall and spring.
All of the above are in the collection of the Colorado Museum of Natural History.
