5 mi E, 4 mi S, Shandon, 1175 ft, San Luis Obispo Co., Calif.
19 Aug (cont) Where we are groves of fairly large cottonwood
trees are growing in patches along the banks
of the wash. A few Quercus douglasii
are growing along the base of the north
facing slope to our west.
Walked about in the cottonwoods after
lunch. Collected a & Western Tanager, Say,
Pthocbe, & Pileolated Warbler. Mounted them
and later Paul Deknel and I walked up
a canyon on the hills to the west to
the top & back. Saw gnatcatcher (sp?),
Rock Wren, Calif Jay, Calif Quail, At the
{probably
many Mourning Dove
Blue gray
At the
tops of the draws near the ridge of the
hills the walls of the draws are almost
cliffs and are spotted with Junipers, some
of good size up to 20 ft high. Animal
life seems good on the hillsides. Saw
several groups of gopher burrows, small
rodent burrows and one large burrow, possibly
tadger.
After dinner ran 50 traps in a line
from middle of sandy wash across
bank to or west and up the hillside
through the Paplopapus, past two Juniper
Trees to a point about halfway up
hillside.
