Two New Records for Zion National Park, Utah
In checking over a card index of the rvifauna of the Zion Canyon region, Utah, I find the following unpublished records.
Long-tailed Chickadee (Penthestes atricapillus septentriomlis). On February 9, 1936, Mr. W. S. Long observed one on the Narrows Trail, at the head of Zion Canyon. Mr. Long is familiar with this species, and was able to observe this individual for five minutes at a distance of thirty feet.
Black Rosy Finch (Leucosticte atracta). On February 3, 1936, Mr. Long, at that time Wildlife Technician in the park, collected an adult male from a large flock near the Mount Carmel Highway, 5500 feet altitude, a few miles east of Zion Canyon. The specimen is now in the Ziqn Museum, number 125.-C. C. PRESNALL, Zion National Park, Utah, April 4, 1936
