Northern Say Phoebe Records for Southern and Lower California
Northern Say Phoebe Records for Southern and Lower California
In checking over the specimens of Swornk swa contained in the collections of the San Diego Society of Natural History and of Laurence M. Huey, five dark specimens were found that did not match other skins in the series. These were submitted to Mr. H. S. Swarth of the California Academy of Sciences, who pronounced them Sayornis saya yukonensis. The localities at which most of these specimens were taken definitely add yukonensis to the known avifauna of Lower California.
The data of the birds are as follows: Collection of the San Diego Society of Natural History: no. 13455, El Rosario, Lower California, Mexico, female, September 27, 1930; no. 13522, Santa Rosalia Bay, Lower California, Mexico, female, October 18, 1930; no. 13546, San AndiGs, Lower California, Mexico, male, October 23, 1936. Collection of Laurence M. Huey: no. 119, San Diego, California, male, January 1, 1914; no. 3288, Laguna Hansen, Lower California, Mexico, male, October 17, 1926.
