jiineos "in euorinous flocks, up to several hundred in two or three instances, in 

 clearings about the ranch buildings and in the broad wash below." They

Junco phaeonotus palliatus. Arizona Junco 



Re})()rted by llenshaw when on tlie Wheeler Survey as "abundant in tlie 

 Santa Rita Mountains, where probably resident." A few were seen and some 

 juveniles secured by Swarth, the latter half of June, 1903, none below 6,000 

 feet. They were found very common by Howell, July 28-August 15. 1918, 

 above 5,400 feet in Madera Canyon. No adults were seen below that but a 

 flock of juveniles stayed around 4,900 feet for a couple of days. Many pairs 

 were seen but they were beginning to gather in flocks. Ten adults were 

 taken July 30-August 12; three imnuitures (?), July 30 and August 10; and 

 six immatures, July 30, and August 2, 4, 8, and 10, 1918. 



Six or more were picked out from mixed flocks by Taylor at Rosemont 

 (5,000 feet), January 15, 1923, where they were seen mainly al)Out the barn 

 yards; and they were found fairly common in the canyons above Gai-dner's 

 Ranch, February 9-10, usually in small groups and in the oaks or brush; 

 while "the other juncos seemed to prefer the more open fields and clearings 

 about the ranch and in the broad wash below."

 at 4.500 feet in Stone Cabin Canyon. Others were seen January 22. 1921, in

 seen by me, February 25, 1921, on the U. S. Range Reserve among the mes- 

 (piites below 4,000 feet.
