28 EXPLORATIONS AND SURVEYS WEST OF' 100TH MERIDIAN. 



Harmony, Southern Utah, in large numbers, where it is resident all the 

 year. The young two-thirds grown were taken at this place October 9. 

 This locality would appear to be about its northern breeding-limit, but 

 information was received of the occasional appearance of these birds at 

 Cedar City, some thirty miles to the northward. 



From Harmony southward it was found even more abundantly, fre- 

 quenting the grain-fields and vineyards about the towns, where bevies of 

 even one hundred were not infrequent. 



Being rarely disturbed, it is quite tame, and unless closely pursued 

 seldom takes wing, preferring to trust to its speed of foot. At Har- 

 mony many bevies habitually roosted in the heavy brush along the banks 

 of the small streams, which are conducted through the fields, resorting 

 thither at early dusk and departing about sunrise for the rocky hills. 

 For rocky ground it shows great preference, and when flushed in the 

 vicinity of such invariably betakes itself thither for concealment.
