BELDING'S SPARROW 



The fielding Sparrow is a non-migratory species, inhabiting the salt marshes 

 of the Pacific coast from about Santa Barbara, Cal., to San Quintin Bay, Lower 

 California. 



LARGE-BILLED SPARROW 



The Large-billed Sparrow and its two sub-specific forms, the San Lucas 

 Sparrow and the San Benito Sparrow, range along the western coast from San 

 Pedro, Cal., to Cape San Lucas. They are partially migratory, but some indi- 

 viduals remain all winter at the northern hmit of the range. The breeding 

 range is very imperfectly known; the San Lucas and the San Benito Sparrows 

 breed in lower CaHfornia, while the typical form of the Large-billed Sparrow 

 has never as yet been found breeding anywhere.
