This species occurred regularly but in low 

 numbers. It was observed in all months except 

 March, although it was least common from Feb- 

 ruary through May. Light-phase birds were 

 more plentiful than intermediate and dark-phase 

 birds during most months. Its distribution 

 appeared random throughout the study area 

 (fig. 8). Several specimen records exist from 

 comparable latitudes west of the study area 

 (Gould and King, 1967).
