Patelka 1948 Sept 11 Christie's Ranch, W end Santa Cruz I. Warbler was collected. Sept 12 Pearson and I drove to the ranch headquarters this morning and westward to the beginning of the southern ridge route, which we took to the west to the pine forest area where the ridge route meets the main route. From here we turned south, dropping down into a broad canyon, with White Mountain to our right (west) and continuing on to the ocean to the point known as "Laguna!" The country was reminiscent of parts of Southern Nevada-rough, steep, barren slopes, sparsely vegetated; broad, gravelly canyon wash; trees few and scattered; brush and cactus (Opun- tia) common, but patchy in occurrence. At the ocean, on the high part of the beach, there was a cholla-like cactus mixed in with the Opun- tia. We stopped along the first, lower ridge south of the main valley, about 2 mi W of headquarters and took a photo of the scrub- woodland, which here consisted chiefly of Margarita, oak, and, in lesser quantity, Adenostoma and a Ceonothus. Bald Eagle and Duck Hawk, also Brown Pelican noted at Laguna. According to boat captain, "Red" Crane ranfall for the 1940-41 season recorded at the ranch
