Marshall, 1948 Nucespiza June 10 Upper San Francisquito Creek, Palo Alto, Santa Clara Co., Calif. Visited some stretch of creek where found only 6 birds last fall (and coll. three), on Webb Ranch.

In other words 4 pairs represented here in distance where 4 bds found (2 coll.) last fall. Was running water. Now found upstream in denser laurel oak, & alder where was a pool & 2 birds last fall (1 coll.).
