Pitelka 1943 Pipilo fuscus June 12 2mi SE Beegum, 1650 feet, Tehama Co., Calif. Fairly common on the north slope in the areas of mixed Adenostoma and blue oak-digger pine-manzanita, or along the borders between extensive areas of the two vegetation types. One fledgling, perhaps two or three out of the nest was observed. June 13-15 One observed moving through an open area of blue-oak/digger-pine-manzanita just above camp near the base of the north slope. Except for this instance, the species was not observed near or on the valley floor yesterday or today. On the south slope, the species again and mixed occurs in similar vegetation as described above. In addition it was seen along the edge between tall, dense chaparral and Adenostoma. In such situations as the latter, P. fuscus and P. maculatus occurred in the same tall chaparral. The species was not observed on the higher parts of the south slope. June 16-22 2mi E Hayfork, 2400 ft, Trinity Co., Calif. Regularly distributed but less abundant than P. maculatus. Occurs chiefly in somewhat open mixed woodland and in the vicinity of clearing, pastures or openings covered in part with
