Carnegie Museum: Dec, 12, 1906 (Carriker), El Hogar. One skin. 

 It seems to be not uncommon throughout the greater part of the 

 country during the winter, but never in any numbers. The specimen 

 secured at El Hogar was the only one seen in that immediate vicinity 

 that winter. It was usually to be seen beside a small pool of water, in 

 a road running through a pasture. I saw it daily for at least two weeks 

 before finally shooting it.
