Oct. 8 1 mi'E Wedderburn, soft elev., Curry Co., Oregon:
were present, the Steller jay was common.
The first seen were feeding along the stream
and apparently at least one and possibly
two scrub jays were associating with them.
Subsequently, a pair of scrub jays was found
in a small opening (1/2 acre or so) in the fir
timber, again near the main stream, where
there were willows, scattered apple trees of an
old orchard, and other trees. Later two were
seen in the upper parts of one of the west
draws, flying across dense Conyulus-Holo-
discus chaparral down into the willow
thickets.
Species noted in the dense willows and
Hylorichla guttata,
chaparral were Pipilo maculatus, Thryomanes
swicki, Chamea fasciata, Corthyliu calendula,
Melospiza melodia (very common), Passerella
iliaca, and Troglodytes troglodytes. The last-named
was of course more common near or in conif-
erous forest. One Black-throated Gray Warbler
was noted in willows. Golden-crowned Sparrow
and Oregon juncos were present along chaparral
edges feeding in the grass. Passerculus sandwi-
chenensis was common on the higher grassy slopes
and flats. A flock of violet-green Swallows flew
overhead. Other species noted were Tundus
migratorius, Hylorichla ustulata, Sialia
