Cogswell 1950 Sturnella neglecta June 20 Soda Springs, 6760 ft., Nevada Co., Calif. - 1 very dull plumaged bird (c-4 or young ?) on small meadow just below Lake Van Norden dam, to which it flew when disturbed. I do not think the species nests at this altitude, for the snow has only melted within the past 2 weeks. June 23 Inside Bear Valley, 4580 ft., Nevada Co., Calif - 1 heard singing in middle of large grassy area with few scattered trees. July 7 2 flushed from tall grass in same area; they gave only harsh "chirt" call notes. [= possible nesting pair]. July 9 S end Lake Tahoe, 6230 ft., Eldorado Co., Calif. - 4+ flushed from grassy borders of extensive marsh in 1 hr. walk. July 19 E end Lake Van Norden, 6770 ft., Placer Co., Calif - 1 very dull plumaged bird on open sedge + grass meadow, it gave no call as it flew. about 1 1/4 mi. E of June 20 locale.

(late p.m.) Fairly common in moist grassland (mostly irri- gated pastureland), more so than the single birds seen on previous drives thru the area 5 of town would indicate (July 12, July 26). 1 song heard fully Aug. 6 - valley near Carson City , Renoa, Ormsby & Douglas Cos., Nev.
