Zulloni Sparrow 1949 Passerculus sandwichensis -1- Aug 13 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co. Calif.- 1 taken in the pasture S of Camp (see journal p 116) this morning. It had flown up from bathing at the bend of Maple Creek and then flew out to a small stand of Blockberry in the pasture, from which it was collected. Other similar sparrows, at least 5 of them, were feeding in the grass nearby, flying when the shot was fired. Sept 3 2 1/2 mi. N Willow Creek, 500 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. 1 bird collected from a Baccharis bush along the edge of a cornfield on the Patterson Ranch. Several birds were feeding with Mourning Doves in the grassy area between rows in the cornfield. I flushed several and was finally able to collect this one. Sept 8 Red Mtn., 5300 ft., 14 mi. S Hayfork, Trinity Co., Calif. I flushed and collected on a rocky weately running ridge of the first hill S of camp. Some scrubby Jeffrey Pine scattered around with scattered bushes of Ceanothus cuneatus, Brewer Oak and Brown-berry Manzanita. The bird flushed from bare ground and flew into a Brewer Oak 2 feet high. - When this bird was skinned I found it to be thickly coated with a white solid fat unlike any other fat I have seen on birds.
