American Ornithologists' Union (AOU). 1998. Check-list of North American birds. Seventh edition. American Ornithologists' Union, Washington, D.C. [as modified by subsequent supplements and corrections published in The Auk]. Also available online: http://www.aou.org/.
Taxonomic Comments
Mitochondrial genetic data from several studies (Burns 1997; Burns et al. 2002, 2003; Klicka et al. 2000, 2007) provide strong evidence that this genus, previously placed in the Thraupidae, is a member of the Cardinalidae.

May constitute a superspecies with P. olivacea (AOU 1998).

Range Extent Comments
BREEDING: southeastern Alaska, through western Canada south through western U.S. to northern Baja California, southern Nevada, southwestern Utah, Arizona, southern New Mexico, and western Texas (one questionable record for southern Wisconsin). NON-BREEDING: southern Baja California and central mainland of Mexico south to Costa Rica (rarely southern U.S.), casually to western Panama.
Ecology & Habitat

Habitat

Breeds mostly in coniferous and mixed mountain woodlands. Migrates and winters in a variety of forest, woodland, scrub and partly open habitats (Terres 1980). Usually nests in conifer, on outer portion of limb, 3-20 m above ground (Terres 1980).

Ecology

Solitary in winter (Stiles and Skutch 1989).

Reproduction

Clutch size is 3-5. Incubation, by female, lasts about 13 days. Altricial young are tended by both adults.
