Cogswell 1948 Zonotrichia coronata Oct. 9 - N.E. of Life Sciences Bldg., Univ. of Calif., Berkeley 12:20 - 12:40 P.M. - I heard singing repeatedly, the usual 3 notes in minor key: Dull day, heavy overcast; no wind. Dec. 21- State Elk Preserve, Tupman, Kern Co., Calif. I seen in tall weeds at "picnic area" of State Park. It was in sub-adult plumage; [illegible], some black showing thru gray-brown of edges of crown, center of crown pure yellow. This lowland locality far from any chaparel hillsides seems far removed from the normal habitat of the species as I know it. [Jan. 5, '49] - This habitat normal according to Grinnell & Miller's "Distribution of Birds of Calif."
