104 PACIFIC COAST AVIFAUNA No. 11 
state; only two published records under this name, though others probably be- 
long here: Mendocino County (Ridgway, Proce. Wash. Acad. Sei., m1, 1901, p. 
153), and Mount Sanhedrin, Mendocino County (Stone, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. 
Phila., 1904, p. 582). 
312 (500) Agelaius tricolor (Audubon) 
TRI-COLORED RED-WINGED BLACKBIRD 
Synonyms—Icterus tricolor; Agelaius phoeniceus var. tricolor; Tri-colored 
Blackbird; Red-and-white-shouldered Blackbird. 
Status—Common resident locally in the interior valleys west of the Sierran 
divide and south through the San Diegan district. Recorded north to Shasta 
County, east to Lake Tahoe and near Weldon, Kern County (Mus. Vert. Zool.), 
and west to the coast district of central and southern California. The San Joa- 
quin Valley seems to be now the metropolis of this species. Not recorded east 
of the Sierran divide, save as breeding at Lake Tahoe (C. Barlow, Condor, m, 
1901, p. 168), nor in northwestern California north of Marin County, where 
recorded only as a straggler (J. Mailliard, Condor, m1, 1900, p. 65). Western- 
most breeding station: Sargents, Santa Clara County (C. Barlow, Condor, n, 
1900, p. 182). 
313 (501.1) Sturnella neglecta Audubon 
WESTERN MEADOWLARK 
Synonyms—Sturnella magna neglecta; Sturnella hippocrepus; Western 
Lark. 
Status—Abundant resident in appropriate localities practically throughout 
the state, with the exception of the most arid and barren deserts, roughest moun- 
tains and densest forests. Breeds from Lower Sonoran, as at Victorville, on 
the Mohave desert (Mus. Vert. Zool.), up through Transition, in tha northwest 
coast belt and on mountain meadows. In these highest localities, which are sub- 
ject to snowfall, there is evidently an exodus of meadowlarks for the winter, and 
in complementary fashion many birds winter on suitable portions of the Colo- 
rado and Mohave deserts, where the species is unknown in summer. Recorded 
as breeding both east and west of the Sierras, in arid and humid belts, and on 
nearly all of the coastal islands; but no geographic variation has been detected 
among the specimens examined. 
314 (504) Icterus parisorum Bonaparte 
Scorr ORIOLE 
Status—Common summer visitant to extreme arid Upper Sonoran zone of 
the southeastern portion of the state. Characteristic of portions of the pinyon, 
tree yueca, and agave associations. Common on the desert slopes of the Santa 
Rosa and San Jacinto mountains (J. Grinnell and Swarth, Univ. Calif. Publ. 
Zool., x, 1913, p. 264), at the west base of the Sierra Liebre in Antelope Valley, 
northern Los Angeles County (J. Grinnell, Condor, xm, 1910, p. 46), on the west 
slope of the Sierra Nevada in Walker Pass, Kern County (A. K. Fisher, N. Amer. 
Fauna no. 7, 1893, p. 76; Mus. Vert. Zool.), and along the isolated ranges of the
