Palmer 1935 Itinerary May 23 cont'd. Little Shasta R., 3000 ft. Several streams with only small areas between. This makes for a rank growth of vegetation. Along the streams there are thick tangles of willow and chokecherry with many large cottonwoods. There are also a few yellow pines scattered along the creek. The areas between the streams are generally damp, some meadow with a heavy growth of perennial grasses. The area on either side of the streams is largely dry hard alder with a moderately heavy growth of Bromus, Andeum and Erodium. Where the stream- side growth joins this dry open country, there are generally, large Garry Oaks and Cottonwoods. To the S of camp is Table Rock, a description of which will be found under notes for May 20. Birds seen at this camp according to general habitat preference. Streamside: Song Sparrow, Lazuli Bunting, Yellow Warbler, Golden Pileated Warbler, Vigors Bewick Wren, Thrush (sp.) Long-tailed Chat. Large trees near stream: Chipping Sparrow, Black-headed Grosbeak, Western Wood Pewee, Ash-Throated Flycatcher, Bullock Oriole, Western Tanager, Lewis's Woodpecker,
