It occurs on the Pacific coastal slope from Sonora in the north to Coloma in the south and therefore covers a much larger area of land than its eastern relative. It inhabits coastal regions where it forages on the seashore, semi-desert, open woodlands, river banks and hills up to 300 metres or more. It is very common around coastal towns and villages. upload my own hand coloured distribution map File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ... upload my own hand coloured distribution map File history Legend: (cur) = this is the current file, (del) = delete this old version, (rev) = revert to this old version. ...
