Cogswell 1948 Asyndesmus Lewisii Oct. 16 - 1 mi. S. of Oakville, Napa Co., Calif. an immature watched for several minutes as it flew out after passing insects several times from the top of a telephone pole. The location was a mixture of oaks, orchard trees, and grassland. This is the first I have ever seen in this plumage: bronzy black upperparts as in adult but with no gray nuchal collar and no red on face. The underparts were grayish, slightly tinged with pink. 1949 Feb. 9 - 2 ½ mi. N & 1 mi. W of Walnut Creek, Contra Costa Co., Calif. - 1 on telephone pole along roadside, a few scattered oaks are in the vicinity, many new houses. This bird shows a prominently light gray upper breast con- trasting with (but not abruptly demarcated) rosy belly.
