Legs pale flesh Bill thick This species I have not seen in Arizona before. I took several near Mr Bayard N.M. in 1876. I saw mates to the first two but did not get them. They acted somewhat like Wrens, hiding among the rocks and flushing from the grass some distance from where they had lit. I went into the low branches of scrub Oaks, from which I shot them. They were on every scrub Oak hillsides, and were ap- parently mated. Notes sparrow- like in character, short song and chirp. Food, seeds and a few insects.
