Camp Harney. Bendire. — An abundant summer resi- 

 dent, breeding in great nunibors in this vicinity. A few 

 pass the mild winters here, frequenting at such times 

 the junipers, whose berries furnish them their prin- 

 cipal food. They are undoubtedly birds which have 

 been reared farther north. 



Ridgway. In the vicinity of Carson it was extremely 

 abundant from the middle of March to the middle of 

 April. In August they were quite plentiful in the val- 

 ley of the Truckee below the " Big Bend." 



Hoffman. Usually found in abundance along the 

 timbered bottom-lands of the • upper ijortion of the 

 State. During breeding season occur in the timbered 

 mountains, as at Bull Run where these birds were build- 

 ing during the latter part of May although the snow 

 had not all disappeared in the ravines about the foot- 

 hills.
