part; Agelaius phoeniceus longirostris, part; Icterus phoeniceus; Agelaius gub- 
ernator, part; Agelaius phoeniceus gubernator, part; Agelaius gubernator cali- 
fornicus, part; Bi-colored Blackbird, part ; Red-winged Blackbird, part; Swamp 
Blackbird, part; Western Red-wing. 4 
Status—Abundant resident locally in southern California chiefly west of 
the desert divide; east to Jacumba, San Diego County (Ridgway, Proce. Wash. 
Acad. Sci., m, 1901, p. 153) ; north coastwise at least to Monterey County, and 
through the southern San Joaquin Valley as far as Stanislaus County (J. Mail- 
liard, Condor, xm, 1910, p. 63). As shown by J. Mailliard (loc. cit.) there is a 
large area in central California occupied by individuals of various degrees of 
intermediateness towards A. p. californicus. <A. ‘‘phoeniceus’’ (as distinct from 
californicus) has been recorded as breeding at Berryessa, Santa Clara County 
(C. Barlow, Condor, 1, 1900, p. 132), but I have had no opportunity of verify- 
ing the occurrence. Very many records of ‘‘Bi-colored’’ Blackbirds, as, for in- 
stance, all those from south of the 36th parallel, were doubtless based on birds 
better referable to neutralis.
