Palmer 1935 Itinerary Angel Island cont'd. Oct. 17 West end of the island; moles are common around old gardens near the schoolhouse at the west end of the island. He also says there are lots of meadow mice and rats (which I believe must be brown rats). While writing these notes (after lunch) I have been sitting under the shade of several live oaks. Two California Woodpeckers flew into one and stayed several minutes, keeping up their larish calls. A few minutes later, a sharp-shinned Hawk flew into the lower branches of a Calif. Bay tree and preened. It was scolded continuously by a Vigor Bewick when. Left about 1:45 and walked over the main crest of the island to the west end, a distance of about 1 3/4 mi. The south side of the island is largely covered with dry grass, Chlorogallum, and scattered bushes of Baccharis gilularis and Artemisia Californica. At the west end, there is a burnt over area of about 10 acres where mole workings were very thick before
