AMEt•CAN RomN.--On July •2, •886, a pair were seenat an altitude of 5080feet on the Crawford Bridle Path. They may have beenstragglers frmn the valleybelow, but as it was not during the migration, and there had been no storm for several weeks, it seems more likely that they had nested in somestunted firs and spruceson a southernslope near by. No others were seen.
