Palmer 1936 Itinerary July 26. Laguna Ranch, San Benito Co., (contd.) contd. Adenostoma. Three shot 2 Bell Sparrows. Saw several more of the same species. Also saw Bewick Wrens and Western Greackaters. Heard Wren-kit, Calif. Thrasher and Spotted Forshew but birds seem to be scarce. Went back to my old stand at the water tank when I shot a White-breasted Nuthatch in a large Valley Oak. There were few birds. Then we went on up the canyon back of the tank to the spring. The spring is in the gulley bottom and has a few bushes of gooseberry, Willow and amelanchier around it with scrub-oak, live oak and Blue oak nearby. The hill- sides above are covered by dense chaparral and hess. Then I shot 1 Bell Sparrow, 1 Plain Titmouse, 1 Wood Pewee and 1 Jerneo. Also saw Bewick Wren, Western Greackater, Calif. Jay, Chipping Sparrow?, and Black Phoebe. Shot a Dove from a small Blue Oak. In the evening, sawa Roovill and heard Horned Owl and Screed Owls. July 27. This A.M. hunted from 5:30 - 8 through dense chaparral, mainly Adenostoma and Scrub oak. Followed along the ridge between our camp and Lewis Creek drainage, waking
