Patelka 1946 June 24 Douglas Co., Nev., and Alpine Co., California. possible that scrub jay occurs here, but I am doubtful. Judging by the snowdrift fences, this country is well-covered with snow in winter and I believe that this excludes scrub jay at least as regularly distributed permanent residents. We then took a road southward out of Woodfords and proceeded east through Diamond Valley, stopping at a point three miles east of Woodfords at the base of low mountains covered extensively with juniper-juniper woodland. Scrub jays were found to be regularly distributed through this area. Three will grow young were obtained and appeared to be of the "superclusa" type. Only brief glimpses of adult birds were obtained, but the intensity of the blue coloration on the worn plumage of the pileum and the brownish back indicated that these birds were close to, if not actually of, the "superclusa" type. We returned to Garderville in the Carson Valley. There appears to be no suitable breeding habitat for the scrub jay in the vicinity of Gardenville. It is possible that the species might occur in local willow [Scrub jays observed at this locality included Perca pecica, Apicella lutea, and Corvus brachyrrhynchus (young calling from yellow juniper ridge & meadow).]
