Common resident of Santa Cruz Island, and occurs on Catalina. In the 
brushy oak timber and on the canyon sides of Santa Cruz, these tiny birds are 
often met with. During late April, 1911, A. van Rossem and I found them to be 
rather common. H. Wright and G. K. Snyder (6) noted a flock in the brush, 
July 7, 1912, and C. B. Linton (2) recorded several seen during November and 
December, 1907. G. Willett (ZS) says he has seen quite a few in the western oak 
region of Catalina in the springs of 1904 and 1905. 
H. S. Swarth (3), in his paper relating to this genus, reports conclusively 
that the island bird is minimus and not californicus as some times recorded.

Probably a regular but fairly rare winter visitant to suitable localities. J. 
Grinnell (2) noted a very few of these birds on Catalina the last of December, 
1897, and C. B. Linton (3) found them rather common on Santa Cruz during 
November and December, 1907.

Rather rare on Catalina and Santa Cruz islands, but probably resident. G. 
Willett (JZS) occasionally met with them on the western part of Catalina during 
March, 1905. The specimen, now in the Berkeley Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, 
which J. G. Cooper (7) took on Catalina in 1861, and which he labelled P. melan- 
ura, proves to be obscura. C. B. Linton and G. Willett (2) heard gnateatchers 
several times on Santa Cruz Island in November and December, 1907, and a male 
was secured October 21, 1908.
