THE HEPBURN LEUCOSTICTE. 
Nesting.—WNest: a thick mat of dried grasses placed in sheltered crevice of 
rock at great altitude. Eggs: Not yet taken but doubtless like those of Leucosticte 
griseonucha, viz., 4 of 5, pure white; av. size .97x.67 (24.6x17). Season: 
June; one brood. 
General Range.—Summer haunts include the higher mountain ranges of 
southeastern Alaska, British Columbia (west of the Rockies?) and Washington 
(possibly Oregon as well) ; “in winter south to Nevada, Utah, and Colorado, and 
east to eastern base of Rocky Mountains (casually to Minnesota), and along the 
Pacific coast to Kodiak, Sitka, Vancouver Island, etc.” (Ridgway). 
Range in Washington.—Breeds thruout the higher Cascades (Wright’s 
Peak, Sahale, Mt. Baker, Mt. Rainier, etc.) and, probably, the Olympics. Re- 
treats in winter to the lowlands, chiefly east of the Cascade Mountains.
