A common summer resident in the south-western portions of the Province including Vancouver Island. ECTOPISTES Swainson. 147. PASSENGER PIGEON. _Ectopistes migratorius_ (Linn.). Mentioned in John Keast Lord's "Naturalist in British Columbia" (1866). If it ever did occur here, it is now, without doubt, extinct. (_Fannin_.) ZENAIDURA Bonaparte. 148. MOURNING DOVE. _Zenaidura macroura_ (Linn.). Not common on Vancouver Island. I found it quite common in the Okanagan in June, 1895. Brooks has taken it at Chilliwhack. Rev. J. H. Keen reports it rare at Metlakatla. Order RAPTORES. Birds of Prey. Family CATHARTIDAE. American Vultures. |
