Banks 1959 Carpodacus cassinii July 10 Kaiser Pass Meadow, 9100 ft, Fresno Co., Calif. These birds are very abundant in the pines surrounding the meadow, and in fact all over the area, probably the most abundant species. There appear to be many young birds flying about. One bird, at least, was giving a two-parted note, "chir-up", very "horse Finch like" [sic], but also sounding like a slightly hoarse Vires solitarius. Collected this bird and tried to put it up as MB 697, but it was in too bad shape. The head needed washed, + all neck+ face feathers came out in the process. It was a S, with bright reds on the crown, weighed 27.6 gm., had tarsi 74 mm. and no cloacal protuberance.
