Baker 1958 Zonotrichia leucophrys 3. June 22 Near Bolinas, 200+ ft. Marin Co., Calif. - Vent back to this area a little after 7:44. Got one bird from the top of a juniper in the same place as 336. yesterday shot a & (migr.) from the same perch as 336, but lost him. This one was only a few yards away from that spot. Saw some recently fledged young here. Shot another bird a little farther along in the same field (339). this & was originally in the thick stuff, but flew to the edge of a small clump where I was able to get him. June 29 A little farther W in same area, from about 08:30 to 09:30, got 4 birds with 4 shots. All are apparently 1st year birds. # 342 was taken from a bush where it was sitting with another, presumably juvenile, bird. # 343 was carrying a grasshopper in its bill. It may be the mate # 344 was shot from a telephone wire. In one place the birds seemed to be in a flock, several birds moving away together. I also noticed this last week. July 9 Shot a first year bird on the bluff. It was feeding in the grass on an old trail. (545) (Ferrumitus) July 12 Saw a bird near one calling for food. Later got one from there, I think the same one. 346. It was a & with small testes, very worn plumage. Shot him right where the road cuts the beach.
