Marshall, 1947 Melopsis NOVATO Willows Willows Willows pure fresh Habitat Conium weed Rose etc. singing in Thistle This area surveyed very few birds. Fresh water, Typha & Scirpus - all grazed & trampled by cattle typha north Some Salicornia May 23 Novato Creek Main Co, Calif. Seems to be complete continuity of birds & habitat here. This is surprising because in the area surveyed, is narrowest and least developed habitat for sparrows that I have ever seen which still does support birds. Due to grazing - watched cows cropping Typha & saw S. acutus all munched off. One singing (once) in that spotted pointed leaved thistle that grows on dry ground in pastures. May 23 St. Vincent Station, Main Co, Calif. See map next page - few birds singing, very windy but junction of habitats effected due to diversion & mouth of creek Willows just starting - with Typha few bird, but many birds in adjacent Salicornia
