R.J. Raitt 1957 Journal Dec.28 2 mi. W Reyes Peak, 7000 ft., Pine Mtn., Ventura Co., Calif. Arrived at the same campground where we camped last April at about 4 PM. The weather was clear but cold and a stiff northern breeze was blowing. The sun was off the mountain top, but it was light until about 5 PM. Until dark I hunted the level open area around the campground but all I saw were numerous Oregon Juncos in the shrubs around the campground. No other birds were seen or heard.

For about an hour between 8 PM-9 PM I hunted the pine forest and the thicker pine-fir clumps for owls but neither saw nor heard any. Dec 29 Arose at about 7 AM on a clear but quite cold morning. The wind had abated considerably during the night. It began to become noticeably light at about 6:30 AM.

Birds were much more in evidence than they were last night. Oregon Juncos were moving through the area in large numbers, keeping close to the ground for the most part. One flock numbered at least 100. Western Bluebirds were present and at least one group of about 6 was flying from high treetop to another calling frequently. I collected one from the top of a tall dead pine. White-breasted Nuthatches were working in the pines, usually at moderate or low levels and were calling almost constantly. Steller Jays were present and
