Aug 14 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. A group of 5 were seen foraging in low (grazed) moist grassland just inland from the Scirpus marsh at the S.E. end of the lagoon. They used the tops of 12 ft. high pilings as perches.
Aug. 22 13/4 mi. N., 2 mi. W. of Schoolhouse Peak, 2250 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. The species is common, in association with Chipping Sparrows, along the fields & roadside fences here. Two were collected from a fence fronting on mowed hayfield on one side and green oats beyond border (20 yards wide) of grass on the other. The specimens were prepared by Dr. Pearson (his #'s 1718, 1719).
