74. Peucæa ruficeps boucardi (Scl.) Ridg. Boucard’s Sparrow.—These Sparrows were met with at Cave Creek, near Morse’s Mill, and in the Santa Rita Mountains. Among some notes taken at the first-named place I find the following: “I saw five of these Sparrows to-day [March 4] but two of them escaped me. They were in scrub oaks on rocky hillsides, and were apparently mated. They acted somewhat like Wrens, hiding among the rocks and flushing from the grass at a point some distance beyond where I would mark them down. Two went into the low branches of the oaks, from which I easily shot them. I have not found the species before in Arizona, but I took several near Fort Bayard, New Mexico, in 1876.” A specimen taken near the end of March was shot “on a ridge among thick brush,” while two others, obtained in the Santa Rita Mountains in May, occurred at a high elevation on similar ground.
