Melospiza melodia
Napa Co. Jan 11
patch a riparian growth separated by [illegible] mile
or more of bare stream bed from the willows
on the le east side of the highway! We searched
very carefully, however, and saw none. A large
flock of white-crowns seen, however, and I ceu-
caught a good glimpse of a bird with a very
prominant white superciliary stripe extending
far back on the heard which was undoubtedly
a white-throat. Saw several W. Bluebirds on
the hillside.
Tulucay Creek ends in a large pasture.
The Napa river itself is bare of song-sparrow
habitat for a mile downstream from town - [!]
probably no song sparrows until the firt tules,
of the salt slough.
