Tricka 1943 June 25 1 mi W Hayport, 1200 ft., Trinity Co., Calif. 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. and upward 100 to 150 feet up the slope, there prevails a scattered chaparral thickets, dominated Leonothus 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. 32 mouse traps were set out last
