Xanthocephalus Xanthocephalus
Mar. 19, 20 Gray Lodge Refuge, S.V. Butte Co., Calif.: a good number (perhaps 100+) were seen in reeds cat-tails and/or tules near "towers" in refuge at dusk — going to roost among many red-wings.
of the masses of blackbirds passing over me going eastward between 6 > 6:30 A.M. on 20th., only one flock containing yellow-heads (200 est.) was seen. 4 plumaged birds outnumbered JS.
