General Comment
2.5 mi. S Cannon Beach, 50ft., Clatsop Co., Oregon.
(I also shot one on a brush at the edge of a road near the beach -
also out of its habitat + apparently migrating - but I couldn't retrieve it.) - also one Pied-winged blackbird
which was moving South & stopped for a while on the top of a spruce, near the beach.
There is no habitat here for either of those species.
All other specimens taken had either large gonads or were feeding young - but the jays - whose gonads were rather small & were not even paired - Ward & I each took "pairs" which turned out to be both males.
A list of the birds of the area & their habitats follows:
Phalacrocorax - probably auritus sitting on rocks off the shore - about 25.
Oidemia deglandi 20 in surf
Larus occidentalis nesting on drifts of beach,
100 along beach,
^
Larus glaucescens 2 or 3 imm.
Columba fasciata Many - throughout the forest
Bubo virginianus 1 in forest - dark color
Chaetura vauxi 6 came down to cedar tree)
over camp in evenings ^
