A. Good 1980 Mt. Chiricahua 1 mi. S + 4 mi. E Odell Butte, 1580 m., Klamath Co., Oregon [T. 24 S, R. 7 E, SW ¼ sec. 26] 11 July Song normal. Chiricahuas very common here but I refrained from collecting any since Bob only had 5 left on his Oregon collecting permit + I decided to save them for a more distant locality. Bob collected 1 ♀ (DAG 142). Steens Mtn., Harney Co., Oregon 12 July - I have seen no decent Chiricahua habitat here in any of the places we have been (see journal) - no conifers except Juniperus at intermediate elevations. 15 July Martin Creek Range Station, 2060 m., ½ mi. N + ½ mi. E Chocolate Mtn., Humboldt Co., Nevada [T. 44 N, R. 39 E, NW ¼ sec. 24] Apparently, Mtn. Chiricahuas are not as restricted to conifers as I thought - Bob collected 2 juvenile birds from a family group here in aspen forest. No conifers to any significant degree for miles. 16 July Saw an adult in the same place Bob got the juveniles yesterday - probably a parent. It did not cooperate so I was unable to collect it ½ mi. N + 1 mi. W Frazier Mt., 2150 m., Ventura Co., Calif. [T. 8 N, R. 20 W, NE ¼ sec. 15] 24 July Chiricahuas common. S. Kaiser heard the territorial song + said it was of the normal type. Though one would expect more juv. than ad. birds 6 out of 7 we collected were adult.
