Marshall, 1941 Catalog Gill Comment May 22 4 mi. S seaside, 200 ft., Clatsop Co., Ore. We drove in the a.m. to this broad flat land covering several square mi., which is walled off from the ocean by hills to the W & SW so that the climate is milder (no sea wind) The habitat varied and birds more numerous. Collected creepers early in the a.m. from pure grove of coast hemlocks on a cool shady ridge in the hills bordering the sw edge of the broad valley mentioned above. Also Hairy Woodpeckers, & much elk sign. In mixed forest mostly Douglas fir) got mix of birds around stuffs owl - Steller jays, juncos, robins, etc. & saw a fine Pileated Woodpecker. Worked among scattered alders along Necanicum R. winding thru valley mentioned above - took Berwick Wren from streamside. Much grassland here-gen. In a flat valley to the SW (coming from the hills) was a dense & uniform stand of alders mixed with a few Dong. fir - all on boggy ground. Here were Warbling & Hudson Vireos, Calif. Purple Finches, Hairy Woodpeckers. The forest in hills mentioned above differed from that along coast in lacking the dense underbrush.
