Golden Crowned Sparrow
557. (Zonotrichia coronata)
1894.
Dec.22. Ed. Heller and I secured 3
specimens on Box Spring Mt, near
the summit. Mine is skin #184.
There were more in the bush
but they were so shy that we
could not get them! The only
way to find them was to listen
for their modest hisping chip
or peep and then follow in the
direction of their voice. They
stayed in the grease-wood
bush, zone 6-10 ft. high.
