Banks 1954 Zonotrichia leucophrys Apr. 18 Pelle Beach, San Mateo, Calif. 920+6 birds here in the morning, about 8-10am. The first was in a Lupine along the road by the beach pull-off. The second was on the face across the road. Shot and lost one here also; + another was present there. The face was lined with thick Rubus vines. Just N of the beach pull-off is another road cut-off, where I parked for a good while. Observed a copulation here. Across the road shot a bird ( ) in the tall full grasses. It's mate was shot at, but flew away. Found the nest in a Bachanias with one young, about 7 days old. But bird +4 feeding, again with insects in bill, on a dirt road leading to a field. A fifth for this area ( ) was in thick low brush, associated with a flock of golden-crowned Sparrows. It's mate, I guess, flushed from nearby, but no shot possible. The last bird was on the ground in an open sandy area sparsely covered with green and small forbs. Some of the birds here seem almost shocked. Often see 3 or 4 together. N Portionio Beach, 150 ft., San Mateo Co. Calif. This is a narrow (75 yd.) strip between Pt. I + the cliff, covered with low Bachanias & sage.
