General Comment
7.5 mi S Cannon Beach, 20 ft, Clatsop Co, Ore.
May 21 am - hunted along same road as yesterday hoping to see grey jays in the heavy timber & crossbills on the ridge. Very few birds where the old road crossed the ridge the brush was so dense that it was impossible to travel - so I went down to the highway & then the brush at the mouth of the first valley south of Arch Cape to the shore - hoped to hear wrens (Beirick). Clear, warm, some wind. Saw cormorants & gulls on a rock island which appeared to be close enough to walk out to at low-tide.
- Summary -
This region lies within what seems to be a very narrow belt of boreal forest which extends along the coast to northern California. Back of the 1st range of hills the country is quite different-greener, less gnarled trees - more alders
