Kaye - 1933. French Gulch, 6700 ft., Piote Mts., - Oct. 30, 1933. - new bird to the expedition, a white headed woodpecker. I shot him out of a black oak up the west canyon, at an elevation of about 7500 feet. I also shot a Humit thrush. I shot one grey squirrel, two ground squirrels and six chipmunks. The chipmunks are the big interest of the day. I went back to the same place where I got the chipmunks yesterday. In order to better understand the story, it would be well to first describe the setting. The north facing slope consists of red firs only. The south facing slope consists of yellow pines and black oak. The fir slope is smooth, a metamorphic shaly slide covered with needles. On this side near the bottom of the creek are many fallen fir logs, two of them bridging the creek to the pine-oak slope. The latter slope is rocky, with many small, overhanging rock-ledges. So much for the description. yesterday both the quadrivittatus seemed to be mixed up in the bottom of the creek with, perhaps, a seeming tend- ency of the quads. to keep to the fir slope.
