10 Oct.8 1 mi E Wedderburn, 50 feet elev., Curry Co., Oregon, mexicana, Parus rufescens, Vireo huttoni (also willow draws with species listed earlier), and Wilsonia pileolata, Dendroica auduboni. Species noted along the Rogue River yes- terday, but not recorded then were one adult Glaucous-winged Gull and a flock of five Wood Ducks including at least one and possibly two adult males. The remaining three ducks were either immatures or females. Oct.9 Rain continued through the morning, stopped shortly after 1. I hunted in the main valley to the north of us; failed to get any scrub jays but collected 4 Stelleri in the course of my efforts. Four scrub jay were seen in one draw; three left in a group flying some dis- tance into another draw while the fourth stayed. Later three were seen in an alder-willow draw above and old orchard. All were very wary. Noted Sitta canadensis among chestnut-backed Chickadees and golden-crowned Kinglets; also heard Bubo virginianus, a pair. Buteo jamaicensis is fairly common, relatively speaking. Oct.10 Heavy rain and strong wind from 3 to about 8 a.m. Hunted to the west of the Lloyd Ranch headquarters, over the main ridge and down through the Bailey Ranch to the ocean-shore road, thence by way of this road to Wedderburn and along US. 101
