A Northern Record for the Gray Titmouse in Oregon
On February 9, 1936, while looking for winter birds in the Blitzen Canyon, Steens Mountains, Harney County, Oregon, I was attracted by the call of a titmouse, coming from a tangle of dead willows in a dry wash at the base of the canyon wall. The bird wassollected, and it proved to be an adult female Baeolophus inornutus griseus. This species is extremely rare in Oregon, the only other records of its occurrence being in the juniper belt just west of South Warner Valley, Lake County, near the California-Nevada border.
