36 Callipepla agramadæ 10.2 X 12 F
J. brown. Found in desert plains,
seldom in the vicinity of water.
Usually found in flocks of six
to ten, occasionally as many
as twenty to thirty. Shy and in
most places difficult to get; in
most cases I do not get more
than one out of a flock.
37 Melanerpes formicivorus F
5724 J. white. Not very common here.
I have never seen any acorns
driven into holes bored in the
bark of trees for that purpose
here as the sp. is in the habit
of doing in Cali. Otherwise there
is little difference in their habits.
