Marshall, 1941 General Comment 7.5 mi. S Cannon Beach, 30 ft., Clatsop Co., Oregon of other deciduous trees, more birds. The greatest numbers of birds at this locality as well as the greatest number of birds were in a narrow interval between the forest & the shore - where the trees are fewer & more variety of habitats as well as cabins, roads and clearing. Even the characteristically forest birds (such as Audubon Warblers) were commoner here. There were exceedingly few birds in the forest - only jays, varied thrushes, chinglets & chickadees. The most outstanding feature of the bird life at this locality was the very early nesting of all species - even the summer visitors! As an indicator I submit the following list of birds which had grown young out of the nest: (* means juveniles shot & examined) * Dryobates villosus * Chamaea fasciata
