283 Indrius var namns 6.1X10/ 9 2
Dick, brown, Bill dark brown
yellowish at face below.
Legs pale brownish. Worms and
insects. This is the first I
have seen in Arizona. I found
it common in San Diego Co but
Badly shot about the head,
5-471
284 Phaenopella nitens 7.9X11.3 8
Red Bill and legs black.
Not common here. I had expected
to find them abundant.
Heard a weak attempt at a
song. They have a sweet though
not loud song. They are very
fond of Mistletoe berries and
in their season P. nitens can
scarcely be found elsewhere
than in their vicinity. These
berries are very scarce in N.M.
and on the Pacific Coast.
