The Red-winged Blackbird was found in all marshy places, being 

 especially numerous in the vicinity of the great lakes of the Interior 

 and along the larger rivers. The form distinguished as gubernator was 

 exceedingly abundant among the tules near Sacramento, where it was 

 associated with A. tricolor and Xanthocephalus ictcrocephalus ; but east of the 

 Sierra Nevada it was foiuid oidy in the western dejjression, and was there 

 very rare compared with the commoner form, A. phoeniceus.
