Chordestes grammacus
June 12-15 Zuni SE Beegum, 1650 ft., Tehama Co., Calif.
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.
Present about large grassy opening
bordered with willow, ash, and oak,
and thickets of willow, Vitis, Rhus,
Ceonothus, Sambucus, chiefly near
the base of the south-facing slope just
