Cogswell 1950 Sitta pygmaea Aug. 6 Haines G. Canyon, 5500 ft., E. side Carson Range, Douglas Co., Nev. - 3 seen in sparse Jeffrey pine "woodland" with sagebrush & manzanitas admixed. They flew from tree to tree every few minutes, called occasionally while foraging among needle clusters in tops of the 50-80 ft. high trees. Aug. 17 Emigrant Gap, 5000 ft., Bluer Co., Calif - 1 seen & heard calling as it flew across the steep N-facing slope (Bear R. drainage), which is mostly chaparral covered, with strungers and isolated old & sapling trees of the yellow-pine - sugar, pine - black oak - incense cedar forest which occupies the slope farther downhill. General: altho reported from the Donner Pass area by ornithologists of the early 1900's, and reported as occurring in the Carson Range in fall & winter by a game warden there (at Galena Cr. Ra. Sta.), we did not find any in these regions in 1948. The above two records are the only ones this summer. This sp. is certainly far less common, even in suitably sparse forests, than it is in southern California.
