Cogswell 1950 Spizella psaltria June 17 S.E. side Bear Valley, 4600 ft., Placer Co., Calif. - 1♂ singing from wires & shrubs near a few large black oaks & maples by rock outcrop at edge of grassy meadow.

July 20 near Sugar Bowl Lodge, 7000 ft., 1.2 mi. SSW Donner Pass, Placer Co., Calif. - Definite plaintive calls of this species heard at edge of clump of tall, dense firs by cleared ski slopes; but the bird flew away calling as it went before I maneuvered to see it. This is the highest altitude at which I have ever found the species in the Donner Pass region; it must be an up mountain wanderer.
