T. Code 1957 Luscinia svecica (sp) 6 August Jago Lake Along a dense willow thicket growing over the drainage out of "Upper Lake" I heard the unmistak- able call notes of the blue-throat. There were at least three individuals. We finally approached the edge of the thicket about 20 yds from me and through the limbs I could see it was an adult in deep yalt. Most of the vivid blue of the throat was gone. 7 August Jago Lake. In the same area as above when I approached, I saw a blue-throat sitting in the spruce rock ca 20 yards from brush. On seeing me, it flew immediately into the thicket and gave some call notes. Traps and a net set in this area, so far have failed to catch a blue-throat. I am sure this recent represent a considerable eastward extension of the known range, and a specimen is desirable. 20 August Jago Lake - Today, after I had begun seriously to doubt the correctness of my earlier night records, a fine juvenile was caught in the mist net by "Upper Lake."
