Marshall, 1939 Melospiza melodia Napa, Oct 21 Back at the traps on the id., 5 1/4 mi. downstream from Napa, I found 2 song sparrows (722, 723) in two traps baited with oats and set on the moist ground under the dense growth of Salicornia. This s. formed a "jungle", very dense, about 1 foot high - the birds apparently were foraging in the little mammal trails and clearing under this cover. Back at Longmire's house, # 724 was taken in the yard, like the others there was foraging it under the shrubbery with white-crowned sparrows & towhees. A varied thrush noted in the yard. (On the way back from the id., a Sayornis (725) was taken from a fence in a cow pasture 5 mi. S W Napa. After lunch, we drove down the road following Hrichica Creek to its opening into the marshes, just across the S.P.R.R. tracks. Here, at the edge of the marshes, were a few baccharis clumps, dense Wild Celery stands, Salicornia. About 10 Song sparrows were seen or heard and 3 taken from Baccharis and Celery.
