Marshall, 1941 Catalog 2.5 mi. S Cannon Beach Clatsop Co., Oregon May 17 Late afternoon - hunted Vared Thrushes - collected a Robin, + a v. thrush which decoyed to init. & whistle. Saw another v. thrush which was alarmed about a young bird which I presently flushed! The alarm notes of the V.T. b R-b thrush apparently attracted a Horned Owl - a very black indiv. which lit on top dead stub in forest. Missed it! May 18 am Windy cloudy. Collected at mouth of valley among willows, spruces, & in drusby tangles over marshy ground. Many song sparrows and pileolated warblers. Collected among cabins along shore (between shore & highway). Here the trees are depressed & there is much brush. p.m. - Called for owls - heard none. May 19 am Windy, cold, cloudy. Walked thru highway tunnel thru arch cape. No cabins south of the cape. The heavy forest comes down to the beach on a steep slope but a few brushy areas at mouths of stream valleys. Few birds seen. Hunted along highway & down an old logging road from highway towards
