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.
