In Utah, this species is quite a common one ; being found especially 

 numerous in the thickets about Provo. In Southern Colorado, I saw but 

 few, and these only in the lower regions, and I have never seen it at a 

 higher elevation than 8,000 feet. In both Arizona and New Mexico, the 

 species has been met with at many and widely distant localities, so that its 

 distribution appears to be general. Little can be said of its habits in the 

 West which is not characteristic of the bird in the East ; and there appears 

 also to be a perfect correspondence in its manner of nesting.
