June 19 Hayfork Passy, 3200-6262 ft., Trinity Co., Caly.
At the top of the mountain there is a Forest Service fire lookout. A cabin at
the base of the lookout is occupied (at this
time) by an elderly man and his wife, who have
apparently lived in the mountainous country
of this region for at least 15 or 20 years.
There was a wonderful view of the Trinity
peaks.
On the way up, beginning at 4000 ft.,
a tabulation was made of the numbers
of each species heard or seen for each
500-foot belt. In all 34 (probably 35)
species were recorded between 4000 feet and
the summit. The most abundant species in
the coniferous forest were Dendroica auduboni,
D. occidentalis, Vermivora ruficapella and Junco
oreganus. In the chaparral area, Cassisella
ilacea and Olerholsera chionura were most
abundant. Other species noted in the
chaparral area were Aporonis kolmei; Vermivora
celata, Empidonax wrighti, and Chamaea
fasciata (5720 ft.).
The tabulation of species mentioned
above follows:
