Remsen, J.V. 1977 Journal Pt. Reyes [cont] June 14 the arroyo, we heard an "eastern" warbler song up in one of these gullies and we tracked it down to an imm.♂ Am. Redstart. Then all hell broke [cont] loose as we then began to find birds: Bay-breasted, Tennessee, Black-and-white, Magnolia, another Tennessee, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and Red-eyed Vireo!- all within 100 yds. of each other. After we left, we stopped at an overlook above Nunes to see if we could see any more poison-hemlock canyons. Back in the same arroyo, but closer to the ocean were 2 more clumps, to which we returned after lunch. The first new gully had Chestnut-sided Warbler, Red-eyed Vireo, ♀ Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and ♀ Am. Redstart; The next gully (closest to the ocean) had only a ♂ Rose-breasted Grosbeak but we may have overlooked lots of birds there because(1) it was the tallest and densest clump (2) it was 4 PM and bird activity, especially singing by the vagrants, had stopped, (3) we were very tired.

N. of Vidal Junction. The wash is 50+ yds wide and the dominant vegetation is large Palo Verde with some Acacia greggii and Dalea spinosa. Seemed to have a very high density of birds, small mammals, and lizards. One of the best washes I've seen in California in terms of height of vegetation.
