Proc. Acad. Nat. Sei. Phila., 1903, p. 10); Palo Alto (Pemberton, Condor, x,

357 (567a) Junco oreganus oreganus (Townsend) 
OREGON JUNCO 
Synonyms—Junco oregonus, part; Junco hyemalis connectens; Junco hye- 
malis oregonus, part; Junco oreganus shufeldti; Junco hyemalis shufeldti; Shu- 
feldt Junco; Oregon Snowbird, part; Coues Junco. 
Status—Fairly common winter visitant west of the Sierras and south through 
the San Francisco Bay region. Recorded casually south to Santa Cruz Island (J. 
Mailliard, Bull. Cooper Orn. Club, 1, 1899, p. 45) ; also on Farallones (W. E. Bry- 
ant, Proc. Calif. Acad. Sci., 2nd ser., 1, 1888, p. 47). I inelude under the above 
name all records of the ‘‘Shufeldt Junco’’, as I am unable to distinguish certain 
Californian specimens which have been given this name from examples of ore- 
ganus. Itis not improbable that most of the Californian examples of ‘‘shufeldti’’ 
are in reality intergrades between thurberi and oreganus, and not the larger in- 
terior race to which the name shufeldti had better be restricted. The latter may, 
however, be expected to occur in winter in northeastern California; unequivocal 
specimens are lacking. 
358 (567¢) Junco oreganus thurberi Anthony 
STERRA JUNCO 
Synonyms—Struthus oregonus, part; Fringilla hudsomia; Junco oregonus, 
part ; Junco hyemalis oregonus, part; Junco hyemalis thurberi; Niphoea orcgona; 
Oregon Juneo, part; Oregon Snowbird, part; Thurber Juneco; Western Snowbird. 
Status—Abundant summer visitant to the Transition and Boreal zones prac- 
tically wherever these occur, except, as a rule, in the humid coast belt. Occurs 
on the inner coast ranges from the Siskiyou Mountains south at least to South 
Yolla Bolly Mountain (Ferry, Condor, x, 1908, p. 42) and Mt. Sanhedrin (Mus. 
Vert. Zool.), and thence locally west to the coast of Sonoma and Mendocino coun- 
ties, at least from Cazadero to Mendocino City (Mus. Vert. Zool.; J. Mailliard, 
Condor, x, 1908, p. 133); also at Santa Margarita, San Luis Obispo County 
(Swarth, Condor, xm, 1911, p. 163). Recorded as breeding casually at Stanford 
University (W. K. Fisher, Condor, v1, 1904, p. 108), and as occurring in summer 
at Berkeley (J. Grinnell, Condor, xvi, 1914, p. 35), these occurrences being re- 
markable as being so near the habitat of J. 0. pinosus. Breeds on the Warner 
Mountains of Modoe County, along the whole length of the Sierras, on all the 
higher mountains of southern California from Mount Pinos southeast to the Cuya- 
maca Mountains, and on the desert ranges southeast of the Sierra Nevada. Occurs 
widely in winter over the lower levels of the state, west to the coast and even on 
the Santa Barbara islands; also sparingly southeastward across the deserts to 
the valley of the Colorado River.
