Western Meadowlark
Occurred the most disproportionately in hexagons with annual precipitation of 218-683 mm and little or no true fir - hemlock montane forest. Somewhat less likely in moister hexagons (683-1511 mm annual precipitation), with July maximum temperature (hex. max.) of 27-33� C. The logistic regression analysis showed positive or negative association with barren, Douglas-fir - w. hemlock - red cedar forest, true fir - mountain hemlock montane forest, the extent of public land, April precipitation (hex. med.), May maximum temperature (hex. max.), and-to a lesser degree-big sagebrush shrubland.
