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
