Sept. 2 Prisoner's Harbor, 10 ft., Santa Cruz I., Santa Barbara Co., Calif. species. Two juvenile refocus-crowns taken today did not show signs of the post-juvenile molt. Wave migrants appeared today, including Bullock Oriole (1), Western Kingbird (1, a bird in juvenile plumage, collected but not kept), several Empidonaxes, Western Tanager(2), and Lazuli Bunting (2+?; also noted yesterday up the canyon). Two Cedar Waxwings, both in juvenile plumage, were seen this morning; one was heard yesterday. In the afternoon Pearson and I drove to Christy's Ranch at the west end of the island. Each trip into the interior of the island impresses one with the marked difference in climate between the coastal area, such as that along the north shore where we are located and the higher up (and the higher up) and the interior valley. It seems that the farther inland one goes, the warmer it becomes. Do air currents from the mainland play a part in the climate of Santa Cruz Island? Between the Stanton Ranch Headquarters and the west end of the island, one passes over two ridges crossing between the main east-west ridges. Along the entire length of the route, the S-facing slope is dry; much of it, especially higher up is barren rock, and where there is vegetation, it is low, dry scrub.
