Fairly common on the valley flat about relatively open areas where scrub oak, Ceonothus, or other shrubs are scattered over a grassy flat or slope occasional among pines or oaks. The species was not noted on the upper north slope. Occasionally, it was met on the south side. In the vicinity of the black oak belt on the upper north slope, Dark Spurrows were noted. The species occurs in neither the pure woodland or chaparral, but rather about and in openings over which there are scattered occasional shrubs or trees, as described above. June 16-22 Zuni E Hayfork, 2400 ft., Trinity Co., Calif. Noted only in open, cleared woodland along the edges of clearings and pastures to the east of Big Creek. I observed no more than 3 or 4 pairs. On the 18th, adults were observed feeding young out of the nest. June 25-26 1 mi W Hyampom, 1200 ft., Trinity Co., Calif.
