Helminthophila Sordida at Haywards, California
Online Full Text
Two specimens in my collection, No. 19, male, Jan. 25, 1881, and No. 2087, Feb. 5, 1899, measure respectively, in millemeters; length of skin 119 and 120; wing, 59 (both); tail, 47 and 49; culmen, 11 and 12. No. 2087 was taken from a gum tree early one morning after a heavy rain storm with three H. c. lutescens. No. 19 is very highly colored, particularly the greenish yellow of rump and upper tail coverts. The crown patch is a deep orange green covering the whole head. The February bird is duskier, almost smoky, the crown patch being hardly distinguishable. This species may be looked for in the spring migration, particularly on wooded slopes of north hill-sides. This record is the most northern.
