This species in confined to the northwestern portion of the Pacific slope 

 and lowlands, from Pigres and San Mateo northward, and from near sea- 

 level up to about 1,500 feet. It frequents shrubbery, the edges of wood- 

 lands, roadsides, and scattering trees in pastures. It is very tame and 

 easily approached and is always to be seen in small flocks of from three 

 to six or eight. The birds creep around on the branches much after the 

 manner of many of the Dendrocolaptidce and are very noisy, chattering and 

 scolding almost incessantly.
