General Comment
7.5 mi. S Cannon Beach, Clatsop Co., Oregon
May 17 Camp in 1st stream valley north of
Arch Cape - valley opens west upon the Pacific. Virgin forest of giant
cedrela, Tsuga heterophylla, &
thuja. Dense underbrush 5-10 ft. high
of ferns or chaparral shrubs. Forest
more open (trees cleared of lower branches)
within 100 yds of beach, where
some wind-controlled Cedrela. Some
older thickets along creek, grass
spaces near mouth - where cleared
for cabins. Forest logged off
1/4 mi N this valley - here just
brush & snags. Some offshore rocks
off the cape - where gulls seen.
a.m. Weather rainy & windy - shot
w.gulls at month Creek. - They appear
to be nesting on cliff of cape.
afternoon - looked up a trail up the
canyon past last cabin. Saw (countend
chipmunk), (varied thrush) (1246) which
both came to my imitated Pippin and
calls. No other birds except a
few gold-or. Knights. Very few
because of deep woods, & fewer
because bad weather.
