. The birds of California : a complete, scientific and popular account of the 580 species and subspecies of birds found in the state. Birds; Birds. The American Pipit. Taken in Siskiyou County MOUNT SHASTA WHERE THE LAST BREEDING PIPITS OF CALIFORNIA WERE SEEN Photo by the Author General Range.—Breeds in the Arctic and Hudsonian zones from northeastern Siberia and the Aleutian Islands to the west coast of Greenland and Newfoundland, and on the higher mountains of the West south to Oregon and northern New Mexico. Winters from Puget Sound and the Ohio and lower Delaware valleys south to the Gulf coast and Guatemala. Casual in Bermuda; accidental in Helgoland. Distribution in California.—Common migrant and winter resident at the lower levels, practically throughout the State, more abundant coastwise. Has probably bred on Mt. Shasta within historical memory, but no longer found there. Authorities.—Gambel (Anthtts ludovicianus), Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phila., vol. iii., 1846, p. 114 (Calif.; winter); Cones, Birds of the Northwest, 1874, p. 40 (syn.; life hist.; nest and eggs); Merriam, N. Am. Fauna, no. 16, 1899, p. 130 (Mt. Shasta, in Alpine Arctic zone, "heard" July 17); Swarth, Condor, vol. ii., 1900, p. no (summer plumage); Oberholser, Auk, vol. xxxvi., 1919, p. 406 (syst.; nomencl.). THE AMERICAN PIPIT does not sustain the habitual dignity of the boreal breed. He is no clown, indeed, like our Western Chat, nor does he quite belong to the awkward squad, with young Blackbirds; a trim form and a natty suit often save him from merited derision, but all close observers will agree that there is a screw loose in his make-up somewhere. The whole Pipit race seems to be struggling under a strange 832.
