Salt 1947 Journal 3\frac{1}{2} mi E, \frac{1}{2} mi N, McChesney Mtn, 1900 ft., San Luis Obispo co., Calif. Sept. 4. Nothing caught in steel traps. Dehnel & I walked east from camp along road by which we came in. Saw Lewis Woodpeckers. Dehnel collected one. Mourning Doves were feeding in large numbers in the open fields. So also were Dark Sparrows and Linnets. Saw a chipmunk under a Blue Oak in an otherwise open field. He escaped into some rocks at the base of the oak. Started north through a draw between hillsides covered with Adenostoma & Eriodictyon. Saw several Spotted Towhees flying back to side canyons from single point down "stream". Walked down there and found that there was a good pool with an oak overhanging it and grass along a portion of the edge. Birds came in to water. Dehnel collected a Bell Sparrow and I a Brown Towhee. Also Valley Quail & Doves were coming in. Seven Calif Jays flew from a dead tree up the side of the hill as we came up. Continued down canyon to main channel of Martinez Creek. Collected a Rana aurora in a deep, shaded pool in a very narrow portion of stream bed.
