Patelka 1943 Spinus lawrencei June 12 2 mi SE Beegum, 1650 feet, Tehama Co., Calif. Occasional individuals noted in flight over the valley flat and north slope. None were observed stopping or perching anywhere. June 13-15 Similarly, noted only in flight over the south slope. June 16-22 2 mi E Hayfork, 2400 ft., Trinity Co., Calif. Apparently not uncommon -- at least in the vicinity of Camp and along Duncan Gulch. Appears to occur in situations similar to those of S. psaltria, although lawrencei does not avoid conifers. On the 18th, a male lawrencei was heard singing from near the top of a tall yellow pine. June 25-26 1 mi W Hyampom, 1200 ft., Trinity Co., Calif. During two days, this species was heard or seen flying over the Hyampom flat quite regularly. There are probably at least several pairs established in the vicinity.
