Salt 1947 Cammati Creek, 1450 ft., San Luis Obispo Co., Calif. Aug. 28 (cont.) showed Dunnets, Dark Sparrows, and Sage Sparrows. all coming in by flocks to the water. The Dunnets seem to be pretty well restricted, at least in large numbers, to the region immediately about the water. Collected a ♂ Dunnet which proved to be about 1/2 through the molt. The head especially forehead was covered with half growt grown feathers in sheaths. Saw a Lewis Woodpecker in the oaks by the tank. Also many Mourning Doves, and a large couvy of Valley Guail. Shot a Calif Jay in the oaks. Also shot a Pileolated Warbler in the cottonwoods along the stream bed. It later proved to be very fat when skinned. Came back and skinned the rest of the day. Caught a small Sceloporus on a tree trunk in camp. Went out after supper with Dehnel & Storer for bats using towels to "snap" at them. Got no bats. Later Storer and I went out with Dr. Miller for Screech Owls in Oaks in draws east of camp. No owls. Set traps in Euogonum- hillside by water tank.
