Richardson 1937 Brewer Blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus May 25, 1937 north 20 mils Cr., Warner Valley, Oregon - This species is one of the commonest. It seems to have at least a partial riparian habitat - in contrast to the "domesticated" Brewer Black- birds of California, but similar, probably, to the mountain breeding (as in Yosemite Valley) population of California birds (blackbirds). All birds seem paired here. One & was collected about ready to lay eggs - another with very extensive breed-patch (bare skin including belly and much of breast). June 9, 1937 - N.W. Ross Crk Pk., Warner Mts., Oregon - The uniquity of this species may well be commented on for it ranges from the low valley floor up high into the mountains. However in the low valley it is generally found near slight slopes with Artemesia and perhaps nearby running water. In the mountains, as in this region, the birds have been seen up to 6500', but only in the stream- willow-meadow association
