Banks 1954 Zonotrichia leucophrys 31. June 25 Ladysmith, Vancouver Island, BC., + vicinity birds seen today were associated with what seemed like fully grown, probably nearly independent young, and were very wild. They flushed far off and were adept at using trees & brush piles for shelters where it was impossible or impractical to shoot them. Driving north to Indian - Parksville area, such the same habitat conditions apply. June 26 2 1/4 mi N Parksville, Vancouver Island, BC. 628 was one of a pair of birds in this weedy, grassy field. 629 was of another pair, at the other end of the field. There were only 2 or perhaps 3 pairs of birds here. All singing was: - - - 1 1/2 mi N, 1/2 mi W French Creek, Vancouver Is., BC. 631 was one of a group of birds that flushed at my approach. There are still at least 2 chipping There is a good number of birds in this burned & hopped-over, or else the same bird flying a lot - probably half a dozen, with some fully grown young. But they are very wild, flushing usually even out of half bird range. The bird I got had lost some feathers on the throat, and had some pin feathers coming in.
