78 PACIFIC COAST AVIFAUNA No. 12 
H. Townsend (7) notes a specimen taken on Santa Barbara Island, February 13, 
1889, and on Santa Cruz, C. B. Linton (17) says that it was common everywhere 
during November and December, 1907. A. van Rossem and I found it seattered 
over the hillsides of that island, usually in pairs, up to the time we left, May 2, 
1911.

Common winter visitant but does not occur in flocks, as does the last. L. 
M. Huey and I saw numbers of this species on San Clemente from March 23 to 
April 11, 1915, but they were rather shy. On Catalina during April I have seen 
two or three of these birds every time I spent a few hours in the brush. C. H. 
Townsend (7) records a specimen taken on Santa Barbara Island, February 13, 
1889. C. B. Linton (9) says it was fairly common on Santa Cruz during Novem- 
ber and December, 1907, and I (17) saw two birds there as late as April 24, 1911.

Resident in rather small numbers on some of the islands. J. Grinnell (7) 
noted a few on San Clemente in the spring of 1897, and from the actions of a 
pair, he judged that they had a nest nearby. C. B. Linton (12) shot two birds 
there in December, 1908. I have seen them occasionally on Catalina during 
April. In June, one year in the sixties, J. G. Cooper (1) noted a flock of them 
on the same island. A. van Rossem and I saw a number on Santa Cruz in April, 
1911, and J. Grinnell (MS) found them plentiful there during the first part of 
September, 1903. G. Willett (16) reported the species as plentiful on Santa 
Rosa Island, June 7, 1910.
