Palmer 1935 Itinerary Parks Creek, 2900 ft., 1/2 mi. SW Edgewood, Siskiyou Co., Calif. may 10 cont'd. N slope of the hill, well down toward the flat. Here, made 8 sets for gophers in heavy black adobe soil. The ground was covered with low, fine, annual grasses with a few scattered low bushes of Artemisia. The area to the E where I found no gopher sign is, as near as I can tell, the same. The soil and plants look to be the same as here. Under a board in a meadow, found a yellow-bellied Race, which later got away. Birds seen were: Audubon Warbler, in the willows; Ash-Throated Flycatcher, perched in the lower limbs of a Yellow Pine; Crow, flying over and in the cultivated fields; Calif. Jay, one or two flying over; Yellow Warbler, in the willows and alders along the stream; Cliff-Swallow, a flock, hawking about over a newly plowed field; Western Robin; Brewer Blackbird, Redwing Blackbird, Meadowlark, Killdeer - all, seen in the open grassland; Chickadees
