Res. Fresh-water marshes 

 generally. Of rather local dis- 

 tribution, however, and often 

 absent from apparently favor- 

 able localities. 



Res. Abundant. Nests 

 commonly about fresh-water 

 marshes of southern California 

 and the high plateau of eastern 

 Arizona. Most numerous in 

 winter, in lowlands, augmented 

 by transients from the north, 

 when apparently absent from 

 northern portion of Arizona.
