"An immature female (26618, San Miguel, Oct. 23, 1905) shows a few 

 blue-tipped feathers on the otherwise dull greenish crown, also a few 

 ochraceous feathers on the throat. Another specimen (lacking data) 

 has a dull blue crown, but no trace of ochraceous on the throat, which is 

 merely slightly brighter yellowish than the breast." (W. E. C. Todd.) 

 This species breeds and is resident most of the year in the plateau region 

 and the high mountains of the interior, descending to the lower Caribbean 

 slopes and foot-hills during the late summer months. It frequents scat- 

 tering trees and open woodland more than heavy virgin forest, and is a 

 very sweet singer, thriving well in captivity. With the exception of 

 two or three species, the Euphonias are not abundant birds, and are seldom 

 seen unless feeding on some favorite fruit. 



Sclater describes eggs of this species taken by Boucard in the State of 

 Oaxaca, Mexico, as follows: "Eggs of this bird taken at Juaquila in 

 Oaxaca in May are rounded in shape, and of a creamy-white with a few 

 scattered spots and blotches, principally at the larger end, of two shades 

 of brown. They measure .65X.50 inches. They are the first authentic 

 specimens of the eggs of any of the Euphonias that I have seen."
