Behle 1933. Coyote Peak, 3000 ft. Humboldt Co. Calif. June 12- yesterday with Dr. Grinnell I shot a bird thought to be a Savannah Sparrow but the bird could not be found. Returning to the spot today I found the remains of the bird which were identified by Dr. Grinnell as a female Tazuli bunting. This casts further doubt upon the existence of Savannah Sparrows in this prairie. One has not definitely been seen yet. 153 in Grass 16.8 g. Too old to tell sex - picked up by Gilmore on trail (see his notebook) 154 ad. Microtus californicus 45.3 g Taken from runway junction in clump of Scirpus in seepage area in draw in midst of prairie at 2900 ft. This is the mother of the litter of 5 young No. 155 (see below) measurements 153-40-20-13 155 Five young Microtus californicus taken with ad female no 154 (see notes on page 75) aggregate weight of the 5 was 24.3 grams. 156 & White-crowned Sparrow 24.8 g One & probably eggs already laid since breast showed signs of incubation. Taken June 11, in grass in open prairie 200 yds. from oaks but alongside tall Scirpus clumps grass.
