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
