T. Richardson 1937 27. 3 mi. W Paulina Lake, (Cont.) June 17, 1937 - Though yesterday's collecting seemed auspicious, it was of generally common species as Hermit Thrushes and Tawny . From observation today it seems that more uncommon species will be very hard to collect. For instance, though I Stellar Jay has been collected (441), I have not seen or heard a single one. Again, though a Spouncer was heard once - not one has been seen. The only woodpeckers seen have been the Hairy's , though figurings indicate more abundant and possibly other woodpeckers. This paucity of certain birds or groups of birds (though in some cases an abund- ance when compared to 1 mi. S East lake region) is perhaps again explicable on the basis of little surface water, animal vegetation and insect and plant food. Birds seem generally lacking in the dense stands of Lodge-poles , but become more plentiful in the more open Fir -Tallion Pine regions , especially where brush with open forage ground is more prevalent. The very limited grass and low willow by Paulina Cr., seem too small to be effective.
