Banks 1959 Zonotrichia 38 July 9 Kaiser Pass Meadow, 9100 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. probably entering resting place, strengthening an opinion of only 1 brood /y. here. Semi's Kaiser Pass, 8800 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. Near my camp the White-crowns have a different song, heard them last night, one about 9:15 pm., another at 2:45 am. This afternoon while I was shining, a bird sang constantly, the song being: - - - -, this is the song heard yesterday also. At one time I thought I heard the song of the birds at the pass, but may have been mistaken - will listen tomorrow more carefully. July 10 I did hear this song early in the morning, before I left for the pass. Kaiser Pass Meadow, 9100 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. - First saw 690 feeding on the ground among the pines before I reached the meadow from the pass. It flew into a pine. Heard a song from a clump of pines, obtained 691 there. Heard the song after this however. It was a long time before I got another shot. Saw 692 feeding in the grass. Later, saw another bird feeding in the grass - it flew to low pines where another joined it. One of these is 693. 694 & 695 are mates. Got the first 696 was in a small willow clump. Young flew out. Just as I left the area, heard the song normal for camp.
