Excerpt from Birds of the Pacific Coast: Including a Brief Account of the Distribution and Habitat of One Hundred and Eighteen Birds That Are More or Less Common to the Pacific Coast States and British Columbia, Many of Which Are Found Eastward to the Rocky Mountains and Beyond
The migratory habits of many of our strictly western birds do not seem to be as pronounced as among members of the same families along the Atlantic seaboard. This seems especially true of many of the warblers, bluebirds, thrushes, Vireos, robins, wrens and purple finches. It would seem that our milder Winter climate has something to do With this retarded movement of our birds during their southward migration in the fall.
The plates are colored to show the males in full breeding plumage, and Where thefemales differ radically in color from the males they are shown whenever practicable. Many birds go through a seasonal change of plumage which requires special study and observation on the part of the amateur bird student. No attempt is made to describe the plumage except to call attention to some striking patch of color that will serve as a distinct field mark.
