RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Breeding Grounds Location Most of California's breeding snipe nest in the northeastern part of the state. The western boundary of the breeding range closely follows the western edge of the Cascade Range from the Oregon border south to the Sierra Nevada. It continues along the Sierra crest to Lake Tahoe and south along the eastern edge of the sierra through Mono county. The northern and eastern boundaries are the state lines (Figure 1). This delineation differs somewhat from that described by Grinnell and Miller (1944), which may represent changes in breeding range or merely the location of sites not previously recorded. This study extends the breeding range to the west in several areas of the state to include Scott Valley in western Siskiyou County; areas around Whitmore and Oak Run in south central Shasta County; Browns Valley, central Yuba County; and several isolated locations east of Sheridan in northwestern Placer County. Brep'"'ng habitat has been lost in most of Inyo County because of changes in agricultural practices caused by diversion of water for southern California. However, remnant breeding populations still exist; a clutch of eggs was collected ^-.
