Cogswell 1950 Regulus satrapa June 17 near Sugar Bowl Lodge, 7000 ft., 1.2 mi. SSW Donner Pass, Placer Co. Calif. June 21 I heard singing in dense red fir - lodgepole pine - white pine forest. June 23 5100 ft., 1/3 mi. S Lake Spaulding, Nevada Co., Calif. - a number (seemingly 10±) heard in loose flock in tall dense white firs, yellow pines, & incense cedars. apparently a family group already on the move so this is a likely nesting area. One heard singing. N base "Crows Nest Peak", 7100 ft., 1.3 mi. SW Donner Pass, Placer Co, Calif - 4 heard (2 singing) in dense red fir - white pine - lodgepole pine on gentle N. facing slope.
