Mewaldt LR, Kibby SS, Morton ML. 1968. Comparative biology of Pacific Coastal White-Crowned Sparrows. The Condor. 70(1):14-30
An assessment was made of certain innate functional attributes of White-crowned Sparrows (Zonotrichia leucophrys) obtained from 14 localities in their breeding range in California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. Migratory Z. l. pugetensis from extreme northern California to southern British Columbia. Migratory Z. l. nuttalli from central and southern California were captured on their nesting grounds in June, July, or August. One hundred adults and immatures captured each year (1959 and 1960) in 10 of the 14 localities were studied in outdoor aviaries at San Jose, California.
