The Sage Thrasher at San Diego

On the 3d of February, 1908, I was surprised to find a Sage Thrasher (Oroscoptes montanus) in the most frequented corner of the large city park at San Diego. It remained there till February 16, and I know not how much longer, as that was my last day in the city. I lookt for it daily, and only five times failed to find it--and then only for lack of patience, I have no doubt. My only previous acquaintance with the species was on the desert at Tucson, Arizona, where it was wintering in good numbers.
