Cogswell 1950 Spizella breweri 2 July 26 Little Washoe Lake, 5020 ft., Washoe Co., Nev. - 2 seen in tall sagebrush (nearly pure stand) bordering alkaline flat by the now receded lake. Aug. 6 N. of Washoe Lake, 5000' ft., Washoe Co., Nev. - 4 seen on an early p.m. visit of a few minutes in a 1/2 hr. drive thru sagebrush- antelope brush & desert peach on flat desert. Aug. 17 Little Truckee R. valley, 3 mi. E, 5 1/2 mi. N Robert Mills, Nevada Co., Calif. - about 10 found in grassy valley (< 1/4 mi. across) with numerous tall, browsed willow thickets along winding streams. The sparrows flew up from the grass, giving only slight "toop" call notes, & took refuge in lower branches of the willows. There is abundant low (browsed) sagebrush on higher land nearby; but the Brewer's Sparrow seems to have moved into the moist swales. Aug. 21 Dresher Cr. valley, 1 1/2 mi. E, 3 1/2 mi. N Truckee, Nevada Co., Calif. - about 30 found in similar, but less extensive grassland with willow thickets. Aug. 23 Little Washoe L., 5020 ft., Washoe Co., Nev. - 3 seen by Dorothy Broner (who is an experienced amateur, familiar with this sp.) in same sagebrush area where I saw the ones of July 26.
