slope, there is a mixing Douglas fir, madrone,
yellow pine and digger pine with the two
species of oaks. All in all, there is a
complex intermingling of a number of
species, which in our earlier experiences
were more or less segregated. Thus, the
species of the flat about camp at Hayport
vs. those of the north-facing along Hayport
Creek are here mixed on a south-facing
slope. However, this location is closer to
the coast. The area is definitely more humid,
as evidenced in part by the fresh green
green growing over certain parts of the
south-facing slope. Logically, the species
observed in our situation about Hayport,
e.g., Leonothus canatus, should drop out
to the west.

100 to 150 feet up the slope, there prevails

chiefly by manzanita and Garrya. Yellow
pine, digger pine, firs, and oaks are
scattered through this chaparral.
In general, there was not much song
among the local birds this morning.
Most species had young out of the
nest.
