Richardson 1937
Western House Wren (Troglodytes aedon parkmani)
May 26, 1937 c 1 mi. up 20 mi Cr. Warner Valley, Oregon. - A pair
of this species found nesting in a woodpecker
hole in a large cottonwood. Young were
being fed. This small group of large cotton-
woods might be studied with interest for they
are almost the only large trees of the whole
region.
June 4, 1937 Barley Camp, Warner Mts., Oregon - This
species is very abundant especially in open
thickets with some undergrowth. Its wide
occurrence from valley to mountains, indi-
cate its adaptability and perhaps therefore
its constancy of one subspecies in the whole
west. - Birds (House-wrens) seen in very
early morning sunlight, looked strikingly
yellowish. This may be the nature of the
light alone or possibly a combination of it
and the brown wren plumage.
