May, 1893.] BIRDS OF THE DEATH VALLEY EXPEDITION. 



83 



Big Cottonwood Meadows, during the summer. Mr. Bailey found it 

 common all along" timber line and down among the Pinus balfouricma at 

 Whitney Meadows. The writer did not see the species until August 1 8, 

 when a flock of forty or more was seen on the west side of the Kear- 

 sarge Pass. Later in the day, during a snow storm, a flock was seen 

 just below timber line on the east side of the Pass, and five specimens 

 secured. The bad weather seemed to make them restless and hard to 

 approach. At Round Valley, 12 miles south of Mount Whitney, the 

 species was again seen just above timber line, August 28, and on the 

 ridge north of Mineral King large flocks were seen September 8-11.
