but is found in Arizona, Mexico and Lower California, to 
southern California. It is brownish gray above and of a buff 
color below. The nests are placed similar to the preceding, 
but more in the mountain regions; eggs are the same, being 
a trifle larger.

of twigs and plant fiber, lined with down, wool and feathers, 
and frequently covered with lichens, held in place by a winding 
of cobwebs; three or four buff eggs, boldly blotched with 
brown and lavender (,70 x.50).
