Now it is a series of corn fields with a maze of canals in between & many lombardy poplars along the edges. There were few flowers - The water was muddy & had a few water lilies & water hyacinths & a lot of duckweed & wolfia or Wolffield. The birds were disappointing - Song Sparrows, Barn Swallows, Brown Towhees, Thrushes, and a male Oriole ( Icterus abeilli ). Spent the night in the crucl in the Desierto de los Leones.

Goldfinches, Thrushes, Meadowlarks, House Sparrows. In the Plaza of Cuautitlan was a bird on the ground which looked at first glance like a house sparrow & acted similarly. When I put the glasses on it, I saw that blue on the head & some chestnut wing bars. The rest of the bird resembled in shape & actions a House Sparrow so much that I am inclined to believe it might have been a Hybrid.

Red Storm 1941 Journal 13 July 31 4 miles SE Salapa to Boca del Rio, Vera Cruz, Mexico. Broke camp & drove to Vera Cruz in time for lunch. Saw Lacana & mangrove fern (Acrostichum aurem) in marshes west of Vera Cruz. Had lunch (soup, rice, fried chicken, steaks & salad, preserved peaches & coffee) for 90 centavos = 18 cents). Stayed in Vera Cruz until about 5 PM. Before leaving had Chocolate Sodor (20 centavos) Made in a small stall in a public park with a very old soda fountain. The jerker put in two scoops of chocolate ice cream (made with water as usual); pressed a knob labelled "Celery" out of which came sugar water; next pressed a knob labelled "Wild Cherry" (skipping the one labelled "chocolate"). This produced chocolate syrup; next came soda water; then vanilla icecream; & finally more soda water. The result was quite sweet & watery. We then drove to Boca del Rio on the mouth of the Rio Jamapa, stopping for a swim on the way- water brownish from the river, soupy, and shallow with almost no surf. Saw Osprey, Charadrius collaris, Least Tern, and Spotted Sandpiper on the beach. Had excellent sea food dinner at Boca del Rio. (Including squid cooked in its own ink which tasted like lobster). Drove waiter into Vera Cruz & spent an hour or so window shopping. Returned to Boca del Rio and camped on the beach at the mouth of the River.

December 29, 1941 Summary of trip around Davis, Yolo Co. for the Audubon Magazine's Annual Christmas Census December 23, 1941. Left Residence of (College Ave, Davis) J.T. Ender at 6:50 A.M. and walked through the campus to the creek which we hit at the apiary where we found an adult Yellow Warbler. We followed the creek downstream to the orchard on the SE Corner where J.T.E. at 9AM left me and returned home across the University Farm (his usual census route for his censuses of the farm). I continued downstream to Putah Creek which I followed upstream to the highway where J.T.E. met me with the car at 10:45 A.M. 3 Titelines and 5 Spires were seen on this stretch and there were several Hylasegilla singing. Earlier (on the upper part of the creek near the campus) we saw a Rusty Song Sparrow which is almost the color of a Fox Sparrow and still singly different from the native Modesto Song Sparrow. After picking up some sandwiches at the Enders we went north toward Woodland on the county roads east of the main highway from Davis 1st.) And covered a stream and marsh on a game management area about 2 miles S of the Woodland causeway. Here were

From here we went out on the levee where, in the reeds were patches of Collemboles on many of the puddles. The patches looked like Wolffiaella only instead of green, they were purplish liked the purple color which Fe2O3 sometimes assumes. The river was high and on the ricefields to the east of the levee was an enormous block of waterfowl which extended the two miles to the woodland causeway and was about 1/4 mile wide. The mass was white with Snow Geese but there were many more dark birds, mostly pintail present. There were 5 Least-Eared Owl's on the marsh at this point. From here we drove to Woodland to pick up Yellow-billed Magpie and Cowbird and stopped at the land where the large sugar beet refinery in woodland dumps its waste liquors. This must be an excellent supply of food for protozoa & invertebrates as there are always good numbers of shorebirds there. Most odd was a concentration of about 50 Wilson's Snipe at this point. Yellowlegs, Least Sandpipers, and Dowitchers which were present Thanksgiving weekend were not seen on the census. Next we drove to the causeway where we had a look at the

When a passing airplane flushed about 1/2 of them and the swirling masses immediately brought to mind species of metal in aluminum paint when it is stirred. We tried in several ways to estimate the numbers - by blocking them off in thousands and then tens of thousands. Our final estimate which we think is very conservative was Whistling Swan 20 (probably many more); Canada Goose 5,000; Lesser Canada Goose, 15,000; Cackling Goose, 10+; White-fronted Goose, 30,000; Lesser Snow Goose, 80,000; Ross Goose, 20+; Anatine Ducks 225,000 (probably 98 % Pintail, others identified Mallard 50+, Baldpate 75+; Green-wing Teal, 30+; Shoveller 50+) We returned to Davis and went to the creeks behind the campus where we found a pair of Screech Owls. Pheasants were very numerous- we saw about 100 on the road leading east to the Woodland Causeway in a stretch of about 2 miles. Temperature at start 44°F and at finish (5:30 PM) 46°F. Weather partly cloudy and with very little wind. Census sent to Audubon Magazine for publication. Total 99 species + subspecies and 363,904+ individuals.

Rustoon 1942 9. Feb. 8 7 Strawberry Canyon, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. Went to breeding grounds of the Iutescent Warbler up Canyon Drive in the wet chaparral alone and south of the old swimming pool. In the wet chaparral and live oaks areas from 11:40 AM to 12:15 PM. Mostly clear at start rained from 12:05 --. Even before it clouded up, there was so much humidity that I could see my breath (as though it were cold) Trillium and Ribes were both in bloom, but I found no Allen's Hummers or Lutescent Warblers. In the live oaks there was the largest flock of bushtits I have seen to date -- at least 25. Other birds in the area were: Varied Thrush 4 Ruby-c. Kinglet 3 Plain Tit 2 Black Phoebe 1 Spotted Towhee 4 Bewicks Wren 2 Wrentit 5 Winter Wren 1 Calif. Jay 2.

Red Stone 1942 Strawberry Canyon, Berkeley Alameda Co. Calif. March 1, 1942 After visiting our traps early in the AM (7:30-8:00) Walt + Peg Dolquest + I went along the top of the ridges which form the E+S borders of the canyon and collected "traps." Besides several Fictures and many Ameides lugubris & Batrachedeps which we did not collect, we got 11 Sceloporus gracil, 14 Euneces skiltonianus, 3 Herdovistus multicariatus, 2 Diadophis amabilis, 1 Contia tenuis, 1 young Coluberc. morron, 1 young Pituophlis, and one Eusatina eschscholtzii. Saw two Band-tailed Pigeons and a pair of Sharp-shinned Hawks which are usually present near the trap line. Some Brodocks and Calif. Poppies were in bloom as well as the first Zygadenus. A few butterflies, notably a Papilio (asthiars group) and a large blue were on the wing. Clear and warm later in the morning. Returned home about 12:30. Saw one wood rat in a pile of Eucalyptus logs but could not get him because we couldn't move all the logs. A small Herdonotus m. was discovered sunning himself on a rock 3' high. It immediately jumped off and made for the grass in a manner more like a sceloporus.

Williams to look for Alcids about 10:30 AM went to the beach at Carmel and stopped at various points along the seventeen mile drive. At Seal Rocks we saw harbor seals and both species of Sealion (Eumetopias & Zalophus) and also watched the antics of a colony of Brandt's Cormorants (the same one S.O. Williams studies) We then drove along the waterfront of Pacific Grove as far as the Hoppleius Marine Station where we met the director (Dr Fisher.) The weather was warm and clear, a south wind blowing at the coast and a North East wind at Pacific Grove! Monarch butterflies were flying around almost everywhere. The birds seen were: Pacific Loon 2 Black Oystercatcher 2 Holtbeels Gull 1 Black Terns four 2 Horned Gull 1 Surf Bird 2 Western Gull Sanderling Baird Cormorant Glaucus-W.

Pleasure 1942 Carmel + Vicinity, Monterey Co., Calif. March 7, 1942. 4:15 - 5:45 PM (nt 'Lobo' outing) has been suspected of nesting here but the nest site has never been located. An owl pellet + the remains of a second were found in a grove of Monterey Pines near the gate. They were turned over to Warden Wilson, & contained 14 finches + 1 rabbit (probably Sylvilagus and some arm bones which may have been something else). The pellets were probably those of a Great Horned Owl. List of birds seen: Horned Lark (singing- Brandt Cormorant 20+ Hermit Thrush 1 White-c.

Rustones 1942 17. Carmel, Monterey Co., Calif. March 7-8, 1942 There were several things of interest around the home of Mr. Mrs. T.O. Williams. Chestnut-b. (clinker) were building in a box in the front yard. The nest seemed about completed but no eggs were laid. The ♀ roosted in the box on the 8th. A pair of junco's were building a nest under the eves of the garage and built most of the outer part of the nest during the two days I was present. Nearby was the nest of a Western Flycatcher and also one of a Brown Creeper (both those of earlier last year.) The creepers nest was in a crevice in the wall of the house which is covered with split redwood logs. Several Band-tailed Pigeons were seen to light in the yard and take food from the small pen in which a pair of Muscovy ducks were kept. A flock of Golden-crowned Sparrows was usually around the yard and often came to a feeding station outside the window. As the house is in the pine woods, there are no White-crown Sparrows.

Carmel to the Big Sur Vicinity, Monterey Co., Calif. March 8, 1942 11 AM to 5:30 PM. with Mrs S.O.William & Alice William. Left Carmel about 11 Am and drove to the Big Sur River stopping at various places en route to listen to the White-crow Sparrows whose songs came from point to point. At the Big Sur we stopped to listen for grasshopper sparrows which S.O.W. says next there but it was apparently too early in the year for them. We drove up the highway (#1) beyond the river to the home of Mrs S.C.Potter where we left Mrs W & Alice & went down the coast to look for sea otters which we found (see species account.) I was surprised to see three great blue herons [illegible] on the shelf quite a way out from shore. There were also numerous sealsions to be seen, mostly rolling about on the surface of the water. This is a county of steep, rocky mountains covered with chaparal (Artemisia is common) and deep redwood canyons. The highway crosses one of these canyons where you can look out over the tops of the redwoods perhaps 2-300 ' high. A pair of bald eagles nested here (according to Saidlaw Williams) until about 1935.

Red Storm 1942 Journal 21. Berkeley to Big Sur, Monterey Co., Calif. April 24 Left Berkeley with Edgar Arthur Smith, Frank Pichelka, Walt Dalquest, Martin Tomich, & Sherline Colby about 4:45 PM. Stopped for supper in San Jose and reached the State park at Big Sur about 10:30 PM. Where we met Mr. Warden Kenyon who showed us to our camps and lighted a camp fire for us. We stayed around the fire until about 12 when we retired. The night sounds around camp were few. Occasionally a Western Flycatcher called & also Hyla regilla. The camp is situated in a grove of Tanbark Oak, Laurel and small Redwoods by a small, grassy meadow 100 yds or more south of the Big Sur River.

Saw Harbor Seal & porpoise (probably Phocaena) near the Ferry Slip (Pt. Richmond). Along the road which skirts San Raphael Point we saw three dead Ducks (1 golden eye, 1 muddie & one other.) A flock of two or three hundred Canvasbacks were feeding in the cove - some by tipping up. We drove from San Raphael to Petaluma, Cotati, Sebastopol, Freestone, & Occidental which we went past about 11:30 AM and continued for about three miles where I stopped to hunt True mice (Pleurocomys). Weather clear & warm. Hunted True mice until 5:30 when we made camp at a deserted summer camp *q on the west side of the stream flowing north along the road from Occidental to Monte Rio. I set out 42 muscum Special traps - 36 around redwood stumps & logs on the west side of the stream and 6 on the east side in a small, grassy field just sof the camp. (Walnut Bait).

Rwostor 1944 Journal 2. January 14 2 mi. N. Occidental, Sonoma Co., Calif to Berkeley, Ala. Co. Awoke at 7:30 AM & picked up traps. The 36 under redwood stumps & oaks yielded 6 Peromyscus maniculatus and the 6 in the field - 2 microtus californicus. Walt caught one sorex nowbridgii in a turocks of Junius in a damp spot. He also set steel traps but without success. He saw tracks of coy, mink, & wild cat. Birds were not abundant or conspicuous we saw Turkey Vulture 3, Red- tailed Hawk 2, Sharp-shin 1, Chestnut-backed Chickadee sub., Creeper 4 (singing), Winter Wren 1, Hermit Thrush 2, Varied Thrush 1, Golden Kinglet sub, Hutton Vireo 1 singing, Fox Sparrows 2, & Song Sparrow. We collected Batrachoseps, Ensatina, and Triturus granulosus?], & Ensatina Eneides lugubris and saw two small Scelopous. The bottom land along the stream and the west slope above it are wooded with Tanbark oaks, Redwood, and Douglas fir. On the east slope there was scattered brush with small Douglas firs and a good many cypress. Road cuts showed the basic rock to be Serpentine. These hills looked like a good place for Pellaea densa (Cheilanthes siliquosa) but are owned by the Sonoma chrome company and are well fenced.

Co. ran through an old, caved-in tunnel which looked like a good place for bats but as we didn't have flashlights with us at the moment and the wood shoring looked rather rough we did not enter. Along the side of the road bed was an old coat covered with Polypodium californicum, Selaginella (wallacei?) which I collected, an hepatic which was fruiting heavily, and a fair number of plants of Pellaea andromedifolia and some Gymnograme. Other Pteridophytes in neighborhood of camp included Polystichum minutum, Woodwardia, Dryopteris Argutina, 1/2 Pteris. Hunted Phraconys until about 10:30AM when we broke camp and started back to Berkeley via the San Rafael Ferry arriving about 2:30 PM in Berkeley. Saw 2 Herring Gulls from the ferry. Addendum. Saw Yellow-shafted Flicker near Sebastopol on the way up (the 13th) saw both the yellow wing linings and red wasp as he lit on a fruit tree but didn't stop.

ReStore 1944 Journal 4. March 7. Univ. Calif. Campus Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. Between 7:15 and 7:30 P.M. while it was still quite light, I was coming across Oxford St. with Stanley Leopold when we saw a bat flying about over the intersection of Oxford St. and the street which winds along the south side of the campus (1 block N Bancroft way). The bat looked large and broad-winged to me & small to Stanley. I guessed Antrozous, he - Pipistrellus or Myotis, at any rate we were both certain it was not Tadarida. It was quite a warm evening - the first for the year I think - and the first bat I had seen out this spring. As we approached the SW corner of the Life Sciences Building we saw another bat. All of this proves nothing except that we both need a lot more practice in identifying bats on the wing.

Rustone 1944 Journal 7. Aug. 5. Berkeley Alameda Co., to lmi N. Paicenes, San Benito Co., Calif. Left Berkeley with Dr. Miller by truck at 5:15 PM (after work) and proceeded to San Jose byway of Alvarado. Saw two marsh hawks en route - a ? very young near Alvarado & a small ? near Milpitas. arrived in San Jose about 6:45 and had dinner there after which we drove to Gilroy & thence to about one mile N Paicenes where we camped for the night near a stream bordered with willows. Heard a Barn owl before falling asleep. Aug. 6. lmi N. Paicenes to lmi SE San Benito Peak, 4400'; San Benito Co., Calif. [illegible] arose about 6 AM, had breakfast & saw the following birds. Bewee (most conspicuous - calling every where); Black Kingfisher!; Plover, 1; Ash-thro Flycatcher, 1; Bewich Warbler; Wrentit; & yellow Warbler. Heard wood rats in the trees at night. Azolla grew in the pools with Lemna in backwaters where the water was still. Left camp about 6:45 AM & drove up the San Benito River Valley which is farmed & grazed. Birds were numerous. Saw at least one block of Redwings, many Bewee Blackbirds, linets, & assorted sparrows (inc. White-crown); and scattered shrikes & sparrowhawks. At the upper end of this valley the road followed San Lorenzo Creek up the ridge & then went down into the Hernandez Valley. The ridge was covered with chaparral & scattered Diggar Pines and Calif. Quail were particularly numerous - many groups with young. We followed the road up Clear Creek & on to the reservoir 1 1/2 mi N San Carlos Peak & then went South to camp 1 mi SE San Benito Peak.

Aug 6. 1 mi SE San Benito Peak, 4400', San Benito Co Calif. ridges of disintegrated serpentine varying in color from gray-green to light reddish (evidently due to the amount of chemical disintegration & oxidation to Fe2O3). Most areas were bare of vegetation but here & there were solitary digger pines & less commonly Coulter pines & incense cedars. Where these trees were thicker as down in the lower parts of the ridges there was some chaparral - largely manzanita. The road follows a small stream (which had water in it) in which grew a very gorgeous Castilleja, columbine, and a large yellow- flower with 5 petals, many stamens, one Pistil & an inferior ovary. We camped about 200 yards off the road along a small, running stream which runs west between San Benito Peak & Sta Rita peaks. The stream, although small appears to be a permanent one and has a small willow - 1 to 2 feet high, the castilleja & columbine mentioned before and Parnassia (?) as small Zygaenum, Yanow, and some grasses. Around camp is a mixed growth of Digger & Coulter Pines and incense cedars with scattered manzanita bushes on the hillsides and Chrysanthemum on the flat. There is also some Phamnus, Yerba santa, & scrub oak growth. The hills to the North & East are of the bare disintegrated serpentine described above and on the south the hills are more densely wooded & contain more scrub oak chaparral. We arrived in camp about 10:45 AM and set up camp & ate lunch.

Red Storm 1944 Journal #9 Aug 6. I was SE San Benito Peak, 4400', San Benito Co., Calif. After this we took our guns and started downstream & worked the north slopes of Santa Rita Peak to about 4800'. This is principally a heavy growth of scrub oak with a few small scattered pines and some Manzanitas. I also noted a little poison oak and adenostoma (both rare). The two most abundant birds were Gnatcatchers and Western Bluebirds. I also saw or heard several Spotted Towhees, Wm. Flycatcher, Orange-crowned & Heather & California Jay Black-throated Gray Warblers, Chipmunks were to be seen or heard all over this area and I saw one or two woodnut nests in the dense chaparral. Returned about 4:30 skinned, ate, and went for a walk N along the road fox after dark. Heard one great horned owl hoot enthusiastically. Retired about 9:30 PM. Aug 7. Got up at 5:45 & after breakfast started north along the road & then turned west (after about half a mile) & went up to the top of the ridge following the line between some burned over country & unburned & followed the ridge North to the summit of San Benito Peak. Saw a large Cooper Hawk on the way up to the top of the ridge there was a flock of 25 or 30 Juncos near the road. The ridge is covered with a low growth (3-5 feet) of scrub oaks with a few scattered pines, an occasional Bluebird or Gnatcatcher were about the only birds around. Toward the summit there were several good-sized rock outcroppings which

Other birds at the summit included Bewick Wren, Enately, a selasphorus humming & two mourning doves and the omnipresent chipmunks. Two plain titmouses were calling down the slope about 50 yards. The plants at the summit were the dominant scrub oak, scattered Coulter pines, and a few bushes of Yerba Santa, manzanita & ceanothus. Went down the north slope which had more do Coulter pines - rather thicker with an almost solid chaparral of scrub oak & ceanothus & manzanita. Saw several woodrat nests here & collected Thrasher & Orange- crown wrenbler. Also saw cal Jay, house wren, Plain tit & Black-throated gray wrenbler. Followed turned east & crossed a gulley & went along the side of a ridge down to the road where I collected a second orange-crown wrenbler & saw a party of bush tits & more plain tits. Hit the road about at its forks and followed it back to camp (2.5 mi.) on the way back. shot at a purple finch (in a group of 4 or 5) and missed. Arrived 11:45 AM. at lunch & slumbered.

Also set 10 museum specials along the disintegrated serpentine to the north of camp. These were baited with oatmeal. After supper went south along the road a way of owls or poorwills but saw or heard none. Did see several bats - large (Eptesius?) & small (mystio? or pipistillus). Retired about 9 pm. Aug 8. Arose 5:45 am had breakfast & ran trap lines - one by stream yielded 6 Peromyscus maniculatus & one Sorex. The line on the hill yielded one Dipodomys elephantinus. Skinned mammals & cooper hawks (collected down the stream while setting house traps the night before) and a white breasted nuthatch which drifted into camp while I was sleeping. In the afternoon ~~ took gun & two sets of gopher traps down the stream. Made two gopher sets in fresh diggings near upper end of trap line & continued down stream. Bathed in a small hole in the stream by a small meadow (closely grazed) & continued down stream for half a mile or so saw a dozen or more hummers & collected a Wilson Warbler & linsos and several plants including Parnassia, Castilleja, Salix, grass, Zygadenus & Broudea visoides (or something similar) The latter growing under pines at camp & the others by the stream in wet places.

Then set 30 museum specials up the hill for Dipos. (Same baits as previous night). Dr hiller collected a Suede owl down the road (North) a short distance from Camp and the large bats 2 or 3 of them were conspicuous between camp & the road as they flew over the meadow, once two one chased another with much squealing - another loud grating sound for scat. Heard house trap go off about 9 PM & investigating found another sore. satied shortly thereafter. Aug 9. awoke 5:45 & after breakfast ran trap lines. 1 gopher in gopher set and one Peromyscus maniculatus (young) in sets by stream. Dipos sets yielded nothing so I took them in. Skinned shrews and drove with Dr hiller to a point about 1 mi NE San Benito Peak where Dr hiller found a concentration of Bell Sparrows on the ridge. The ridge ran east & then south and had a very different aspect from the hills around camp. The basic rocks seemed to be an argillaceous sandstone & the soil fine & sandy. The original growth was a tall chaparral - perhaps 10 feet high, but the south & west facing slopes had been burned over one or two years ago. The chaparral

The ridge top & N & E exposures were covered with a dense, high chaparral - mostly scrub oak & Mt. mohogany, along the top I collected a red Delphinium & saw Penstemon (small whiteone). at the south end, the ridge was rocky and supported a more varied plant association with Yucca (which grew also on the W slope) zaucleriaia, & Pellaea mucronate. I found only one plant which was too dry & brittle to save). There was also a tall red & spiked flower past blooming & red thistles which seemed to attract Selasphorus hummers. Here all the seloporus were accidentally rather than graciously Dipo workings were all around the ridge especially near the top and chipmunk were also present although less numerous than in the margarita's rear camp. There was a flat a good way down the west slope where there was a concentration of Bell Sparrows. This flat was sandy & supported a scattered growth of large Mt mohogany & Scrub oak, with a scattering of Pines & live oaks. There were also a few Bell sparrows scattered

Decided we had gone too far & came back taking an old mine road down the mountains. After 6 or 8 miles the road became impassible for 150 yards in a gorge. After looking the situation over carefully me decided it best to spend the better part of the day repairing the road. Which we did spending the time from 10:30 AM to 5:30 PM in the process, pausing twice to swim in a good pool in the stream. Found a Black Phoebe's nest on a small cliff by the swimming hole, and fish in the stream (minnows). There were no fish up at our camp in the upper part of this drainage. Finally got through & drove to main road which we hit about 8 miles S of Hernandez. According to people met at the bottom we were the first car to get through in a water of years. Drove to Coolinga where we filled up with gas & water & then went east 9 miles to a small draw with a fairly good growth of Atuplex in it & camped under a cottonwood along the side of it. Set out 35 traps baited with oatmeal and went to bed.

Caught seemed very small considering the number of Dipos signs &c. went out hunting for Bell sparrow but saw none. Saw the following animals near by: Anna & Selasphorus humilis (in tobacco along draw), Linnet, Shrike, Sparrow hawkle, Kingbird, Mourningdove, Pintail (20 or so flew over the previous night), young lizards (probably Uta), Ammospermophilus, cotton tail, Citellus beecheyi, Jack rabbit, & Dr Miller added Secrete Thrasher & Coyote. Drove back into town for ice to keep specimens & then to Mendota collecting Horned larks on the way. Ate lunch in Mendota & from there turned up to the Panoche valley through much land devoted to raising melons. The lower part of Panoche creek has fair growth of Scirpus & Typha & looked very good for Song Sparrows, yellow throats & even marsh wrens. There were also Atiples flats for Bell Sparrows followed up the valley (where we saw Magpies & Lewis Woodpele & many horned larks) & came into Pairies & thence to Berkeley where we arrived about 7:15 PM.

Downy Woodpeckers, and both White-breasted and Pigmy Nuthatch. We went into Angwin & looked through several barns without success & drove over Howell Mountain to Pope Valley where we visited the Pope Valley school (Deserted) which houses a good- sized Colony of Tadarida & Antrozous which live between the old shingle roof & the corrugated iron roof which overlies it. We collected several Antrozous and proceeded up the valley to Actna Springs - a small summer resort. Here we were shown a number of places where bats hang up under porch roofs at night. Antrozous hang outs were identified by good-sized piles of Steropalmates legs & heads under them. The only bats we found were a group of Corynorhines in the attic of the ~~coolhouse~~ & dining room building which we entered by a window on a ventilator on the roof. There were also a few Tadarida under a piece of tin surrounding the drinery. For further notes see S.B. Benson's Notebook. Saw Calif., Nuttall, & Lewis Woodpeckers in Pope Valley.

Redstone 1945 Journal 63. Nov. 18. Alameda & Santa Clara Counties, California Left Berkeley shortly after 10 AM with M. Ramage, and W. & M. Fox. Drove to Mission San Jose where we looked in the Mission for Corynorhinus. These bats evidently roost in the darkest part of the attic (the NE part) but hang up at night in the more open south end. The mission has a new roof - tile facing the front & shingles behind. The roof does not follow the con design of the old one being 6' higher & the ridge pole is about 6' feet farther back. It seems probable that the bats have left for the winter. From here we drove to New Almaden in Santa Clara County & up on the ridge to the north - about a mile (bee-line) from the town. Here there was a Hg. mine & we investigated two horizontal shafts, one where the road falls just before you get to the mining community and one a short distance to the north along the other forks. The former yielded no bats & we saw no signs of them but the other had one Myotis (which I caught in a net) and numerous small piles of droppings under small devices in the ceiling of the shaft. There were few places in the shaft which could not be reached by one's hands and it looked as though several other small bats had recently been in the mine shaft. We left here about 2:45 PM and

PawStorer 1945 Journal 64. Nov. 18. Alameda & Santa Clara Counties, California drove back through San Jose to the King Road which went south & merged into the Silver Creeks road which we followed. A short distance before it ended in the San Felipe road, we turned off to the right (south) & investigated some old mine shafts a few hundred yards from the road. There were three short shafts near a group of old mine works but these yielded nothing, a fourth was marked "Danger-Powder Magazine" and was cemented around the edges & had a metal door which closed tightly enough to keep out bats so we did not go in. Up the hill to the west there were more shafts - some vertical (which were inaccessible tours) and two horizontal ones which we went in. one was quite long & had a vertical shaft a good way in but no signs of bats. The other was short with a rather tight entrance & smelled strongly of carnivore but no bats. There were undoubtedly others in the vicinity but it was almost dark by the time we had investigated these so we left at 5:15. A rock-sween was around one of the vertical shafts & Masky hawks & several horned larkles were seen on the hill otherwise nothing of interest ornithologically. Arrived in Berkeley at 7:30 PM.

Delmed in East Oakland & proceeded via San Jose, Salinas to King City where we stopped for lunch. Met G. Salt in Paso Robles at 2:30 pm. purchased a few groceries there & drove to the Ranch of h's barn McMillan where we spent the night. Drove & h's McMillan to the top of Red Hill (about 2500') to have an overall view of Eastern San Luis Obispo County. From this point we could see the north edge of the Carrizo Plain to the south and the Diablo Range to the north. The present area is in a gap where there is apparently no range high enough to have Coulter Pines. This may be an important factor like the gap between the redwoods in Northern Marin & Southern Sonoma County for connecting isolated populations of various animals. On top of the hill we saw a very pale bobcat and a golden eagle. Discussed plans for the trip. Slept in the ranch yard. A large covey of quail roosted in an Olive tree over our heads. h's McMillan started the covey from stock obtained from the fish & game farm in Napa Co. By leaving a corner of the wheat field unharvested, planting a few trees near the house, & a watering place, the quail have multiplied tremendously. Aug. 19. 2 mi S, 6 mi. E Shandon to 4 mi S, 5 mi.

The creek valley is perhaps half a mile wide with scattered Cottonwoods along the creek proper (which is dry). When we are the creek is near the south side of the valley where there are a series of small canyons gosing up into the hills which rise abruptly from the valley. The hills are covered with a sparse growth of Haplopappus averaging 3-4' tall with some Eriogonum growing with it. The understory is a sparse cover of low grass. In some parts of the hillside are small groups of scattered Blue Oak or low Junipers. The creek bottom is sandy with some dry grass and some Heliotrope which is in bloom. The valley bottom, perhaps 4' above the creek bottom is apparently an alkali flat as Distichlis is prominent and in places where there has not been overgrazing there may good patches of Atriplex. Other forms to be collected. To the north the hills are higher (Red Hill to 2500') and covered & scattered shrubs. with a series of alluvial fans at the mouths of the canyons.

Flushed a barn owl out of a clump of wisteria in a cottonwood whereupon it was chased by a pair of sparrowshales. Found a mourning dove's nest 7' up in an isolated 15' willow. Flushed bird from nest which contained 1 egg. After supper reset the 35 traps up the small canyon to the south and added 7 more in the upper part of the canyon bottom. Observed saw Cottontail go under brush across canyon got closer & threw a rock at it & shot it when it came out. Reset ten Rat traps for Wood rats. Aug 23 Caught 1 woodrat before going to bed. In morning visited traps. 3ine yielded besides those skinned 1 bob-tailed desquatherus californicus (& no numb). 3 Dipos (20' & no numb) The seven additional traps had 2 Perognath, 1 miniature Nestoma in rat traps.

Saw a group of about 10 ducks - mostly Pintail & a few smaller birds - flying up the valley (east) - saw 8 pintail the night before were flying up valley. Upon return heard Screwwall but couldn't locate him. Set 5 traps for Neotoma & retired. Aug24 the 15 traps in the Atriplex yielded 6 Dipos (4 ♂ 2 ♀ seemed) the 49 yielded 3 Reithrodontomys (1 ♂ & 1 ♀ besides the one saved). Tried to get a Redwing but didn't even get in range. Saw Killdees and also 2 small Sandpipers, the latter flying up the valley. Just above the trap line was a body of stagnant water about 150' long which should be good for amphibians in spring. I saw now nor any tadpoles. It might also be good for cats. Later went up Gillis Valley & looked at sets for Kit fox but none was sprung. Collected Horned Lark in the neatly field & proceeded up to step in small [illegible] canyon where Dahliller collected yesterday.

General impressions of the camp. 1. Abundance of small mammals and consequent large number of Owls. 2. Cottonwoods along creek bottom concentrate migrants. 3. Sparse Haplopappus brush to south of camp almost devoid of bird life. 4. Suripus along creek bottom had small mammals (Keithson torys) only when mixed w grass. 5. Distichlis flats especially barren of animal life. 6. Hills to north with good patches of tall (4') Artemisia, Haplopappus & Salvia with scattered Blue Oats & Junipers have good bird life - Thrasher, Bellsparrow, Bus Titmouse, Bush titte etc but all, even Bush tits are very wild.

Scared many Larks Sparrows out of their nesting trees. Aug 29 As usual the Killer Bees woke me up at 4:50 am. in time to get breakfast. They function very efficiently as an alarm clock. Second call comes regularly at 5 when the Calif. Woodpeckers sound off. Went to reservoir to look over caves on hillside East & a little south of reservoir. There are a series of several caves in a marine limestone deposit overlaying a fine soft sandstone. The limestone abounds in fossils - especially pecten and a massive oyster also found pieces of a small echinoderm about halfway between a sea urchin & a sand dollars. 50 to 100 feet below is another pecten belt. These shells being considerably larger & heavier. The caves above yielded no bats as they are probably too small; but in one were the droppings of a large bat which probably came in during the night after feeding. Each cave, almost, has a woodrat nest in the back & there are nests under the nearby Junipers. Threw back to camp & collected licks there & cleaned. About 2:30 went back to reservoir & set 7 woodrat traps in the caves. Had a swim. Saw 5 ravens playing around in pairs (4 of them at least) on an up draft. Came back to camp & changed 1 gopher sets. After supper returned to reservoir & set 22 more mus. sp. traps at 3 pace intervals in a sodless outcrop near (to the south of) the reservoir.

Third set not touched. Drive into Shandon & Dr. Miller for supplies. Thence to Pass Robles & return via Creston. Skinned until supper time. In evening set 3 steel traps on hill to west of camp. Aug 31. Nothing in steel traps. Drove up the canyon & Dr. Miller to the Bethel brothers place & hunted above their land in the lower fringes of the National Forest. Here the chaparral is much higher & in places quite dense. Bay Auditory grassphleum is common here as a disturbance indicator. Adenostoma forms the dominant chaparral on the tops of ridges and other places where the soil is poor and the slope steep. In somewhat better conditions there is a good growth of manzanita and dense growths of scrub oak. Live oaks, blue oaks and digger pines

There were numerous other similar holes on the flat & we probably would have seen many more in warmer weather. It was even more strongly evident here than at the last camp how many species come to water. Bell, Lark & Chipping Sparrows, Lawrence's & Green-backed Goldfinches, Swallows, Plain Tits, Quail, Doves, Cal. Woodpeckers, flickers, Humming birds, Cal. Jays, Beween & Spotted Towhees all came to drink as did Deer & bats (Myotis & Pipistrelles) & ground squirrels. Small mammals & owls not quite so numerous as at the last camp but still fairly abundant. Left about 8 am & drove to Pozo via the La Panza Ranch. The road goes over the La Panza range which is largely covered & chaparral & a few Coulter Pines on top. The chaparral consists of Adenostoma on the more exposed ridge tops & steep slopes. Manganita & Oak brush are in the more sheltered places & those & more moist areas. Grass and Blue Oak with some bigger pines also occur. The cooler canyon bottoms have Live Oak and Sycamore, with Cottonwood & Willow. Stopped at the Pozo La Panza station to get permission to camp on McClosney Mountain, the west side of which is closed. Drove partway back to the La Panza Ranch & stopped for lunch at La Panza Camp just off the main road. This is a good camp ground & water & fire places in a canyon with Live Oak.

On the way to the Davis Martinez Cabin which we will make our headquarters for about a week. The cabin is in a Blue oak clearing on a side branch of Hay Canyon at about 1900'. Just to the north is an extensive area which was burned in the fire of August 1941 which burned a large area on McChesney Mt. The burned area is coming up in a mixed growth of Adenostoma and Eriodictyon californicum. There is a good well by the cabin but the main stream in the canyon is dry except for a few scattered pools which show some encrusting of salts around the edges. After setting up camp I explored the canyon bottom & Bill Salt looking for places to set steel traps. Found Selaginella bigelovii abundant along the canyon walls and even on exposed rocks in the burned over chaparral - also collected some Pityrogramma and Cheilanthes californica which I set in water to unroll overnight. After supper set one steel trap by a log in the saddle west of camp. Heard Poor will & screech owl in the evening. A red breasted nut hatches & a young clipping sparrow came up onto the truck. Sept 3. Left camp at 5:45 & E McMillan & Th Miller for the top of McChesney Mtn.

One place across the canyon from the trail a small grove of pines but nowhere an extensive stand of pine. Scattered throughout were the burned stumps of pines and a good crop of young pines about 6 years old. Evidently dating from the winter after the 1941 fire. There were also a few junipers in the scattered pines. Near the top the chaparral was more varied in character - 3 sp. of ceanothus, scrub oak, manzanita, poison oak, yucca and several shrubs I couldn't recognize. About 9 am. I started a buck which Mr. Hillers succeeded in shooting. We were at this time just east of the main peak into saddle. After skinning & dressing the deer we took it to the main trail back & sawed cached it in a tree & proceeded to a spring to the south of the main peak. The spring is surrounded by willows & thick brush but originally was in a small grove of Coulter Pines now burned. Many birds were visiting the spring. Bluebirds, green-backed goldfinches, & Wrentits recognizatively, a spotted racer was seen up in a bush trying to catch birds. Dr. Hillers collected it. We started back for camp about 12:30 pm. I arrived at 2:30. Saw no cougars on the mountain but did see golden eagles, ravens, Red-tail & Sparrow Hawks. In camp bathed, relaxed & skinned a couple of birds that Dr. Hillers collected en route.

Chipmunks were numerous along the stream especially where there was bed scrub oaks nearby. Returned to camp at 8:30 and skinned til early p.m. when I worked up & set out 4 steel traps for the canyon visited in the am. Made 3 sets (2 singles & 1 double) a single at the upper waterhole & the others at the lower. Bird life very quiet. No kit. Quail in evidence. Came back to camp, took a bath & after supper set 76 Mus. Spc. traps baited & oatmeal 2 paces apart in the burned over Adenostoma just to the north of camp. The chaparral was about 50-50 Adenostoma & Eriodictyon crassifolium with rocky outcrops, sandy places & considerable dried grass. Shut a scrub owl about 8 p.m. & Dr. Mullers help in calling him up. Sept 5. Ran trap line immediately after breakfast. In addition to Pecosyscus, Dipos & Cercopterus skinned caught 17 in. Dipsos and 1 3/4 in pecosyscus here. Visited steel traps in canyon but no dice, shut chipmunk & a very scaly young gray squirrel in the canyon. Spent most of the rest of the day skinning, but went back up the canyon in the afternoon to add fresh bait to the steel traps.

Delhilles & I left for the waterholes up the canyon at about 4:45 a.m. In an attempt to get Mt. Zuald, we stationed ourselves at the upper series of pools at 5:15 and I waited for an hour but no quail came. I heard valley zuald behind me but they didn't come to the water. The Mt. Zuald called several times up canyon from us and apparently watered up there. Collected a juncos & berriels on the way back. After shinning again went up the canyon to set traps (mus.spec) by the water in hopes of getting sheaws. Set 20 traps, 3 pairs apart at each series of pools. Used walnut bait. Bill collected the traps we set out last night. Mine - baited & oatmeal had 2 Dipo's and 1 Perownysers & his baited & walnut had 1 Dipo & 2 Perownyers, 2 of the 3 perownyers were turni & 1 Boylei's but they got mixed & we don't know who caught which.

After a few minutes I saw 4 or 5 Quad presumably Mountain going up the top side of the canyon across & up canyon from me. Took a long shot at the last one - 9's & missed. Collected 20 traps at lower set of pools & got 3 P. boylii there. Returned to camp & skinned that the Peromyscus. The fifth was a D? or a bobbed tail. About 2:30 pm went down main canyon via the small canyon which runs by the cabins. In the small canyon there is a waterfall (in the wet season) which cuts through a wall of Conglomerate here I found Pityrogramma, Cheilanthes californica, C. corvillii, Pellaea endivesensis?, Selaginella bigelovii & Pellaea humeralis. In the main canyon I passed a fairly large pool (12-15 ft long) into which 5 Rana canorus(?) jumped. In the water was a small, slimy, stumpy snake which I struck & apparently missed as it disappeared. Down canyon away I collected a Purple G. Sparrow. Finally reached the waterfall with a pool above & one below which Bill & Paul found several days ago. Here I shot 2 Ravens (one of a pair which was circling over the canyon). The bird flew off down canyon on with the second, shortly afterwards a single raven came back & circled over me. This made me wonder whether I had hit the other one but I couldn't go

Saw some small shrubs of Baccharis & Diplacus along the sides of the canyon, but both are uncommon here as is Salvia. Shot at a Bell Sparrow on the return trip but missed. When I got to camp found both hickorys had arrived & were out Deer hunting. They brought a Watermelon, Cake & fresh fruit which were most welcome. after supper. Shot a squirrel out about 8 pm. Later went down the road after another but did not get a shot. Sept 8 The others went up the Mt. but I went back up the canyon to see the steel rats & try to get Mt. Zinal. No luck & either. Waited at the upper series of pools for an hour & a half (6:45-8:15 am) heard Mt. & Up Quail up canyon about 7:45-8:00 & assumed that both species watered up there. Got a Gen-homsters near the lower pools, but up on the side of the canyon under a poison oak. Backed off & shot him - a .22 didn't want to go into the Poison oaks. Before I got to him the tail had broken off & was thrashing about in the dry leaves even after the animal was dead. Also saw a large garter snake which managed to disappear w/ great rapidity. Returned to camp about 10:15 & pressed plants then went up small canyon to south of camp to check on one of Solts steel traps. Didn't find the trap but shot a junco there. Several Linnets were singing in the clearing near the cabins as I came back. Shrimed, Bathed & ate lunch. The others returned about 1:30 pm

Perched in the south branch of Hay Canyon (my steel traps are in the N branch) and collected 4 Fox Sparrows representing 3 subspecies. Bessel fern collected yesterday and reamothus ? Ericameria which DeMilles brought down from the top of the mountain. Wrote notes etc. Retired about 5. Sept. 9 Heard Poewill calling early in the morning - must have come very near camp. Went up canyon to collect steel traps & heard Mt Densil at lower group of pools, but didn't see any. Nothing in traps. Took some pictures around the cabin & broke camp leaving about 9:15 am. General impressions of this camp. The mood of the camp was perhaps set by what E B McMillan told us about Dario Martinez. Martinez homesteaded here in the early nineties & one summer after he had gotten well settled, he went to Santa Barbara to the fiesta where he found a beautiful Mexican girl whom he brought back to his cabin. He was very jealous of her, & never let her go into town so about 3 or 4 months after their 9 th child was born she went off. Dario rushed off to the road to Pozo & waited 2 days for her to pass, but she was never heard of again. He stayed on & with help of the oldest daughter managed to raise the children - perhaps all but one. No body said much about Dario although once Bill was heard to say out of a clear sky "The Dirty Bastard" which upon questioning was found to refer to the tashing Californian Spaniard referred to above. It is surprising to see so much blue oak woodland about Bigger pric. It is also surprising to find so many amphibians & even turtles in a canyon bottom as dry as this one. The canyon must be particularly beautiful in the spring. This time of

24 1987 McClellan Mountain in the Los Angeles area has an interesting geological history. It was formed from volcanic activity during the Miocene epoch, about 15 million years ago. The mountain is composed mainly of andesite and rhyolite, which are types of igneous rock. The name "McClellan Mountain" comes from General William Tecumseh McClellan, who led Union forces during the Civil War. He was known for his cautious approach to battle, which sometimes caused him to be criticized by his superiors. Today, McClellan Mountain is a popular hiking destination for locals and tourists alike. Its trails offer beautiful views of the surrounding landscape, including the San Gabriel Mountains and the Los Angeles Basin.

This camp is remarkable for its ecological uniformity esp. in the nature of the flora - stipes & grass and the Aupangas - sage spanous. Leonts thresher & Quail predominating. In contrast to this the mammals are abundant and varied. Besides those collected there were Jack rabbits, cottontails, & ammopermophiles. Here again dragonflies were quite numerous and quite a few small praying mantises flew in around the colman camp at night. Theme song of this camp - the Waltz from Coppelia which has since been made into a popular song. Drave to McKittrick to get groceries, etc and thence up into the Temblor Range, wentigate to Temblor Ranch & down the canyon toward the Ranch house. The ranch is owned by Carl Twisselmann, brother-in-law of John mc hillans. Made camp in a dry wash or rather canyon at 2100 ft on the east side of the Temblor Range. In the Canyon bottom where we camped the dominant tree species is Prunus ilicifolia which is a very dense small tree 20-25' high and now in fruit. It is associated & a shrub - 10 ft. high - blue drupes - possibly also a Prunus (will collect), and to a lesser extent Sambucus glauca. The more gentle hill sides & esp. north facing slopes have a spars growth of Blue Oaks which here has an unusual growth form being relatively low & spreading. Sometimes these trees are associated & junipers which is also common esp. on N-facing slopes - even the steeper ones. The dominant brush type is Haploprunus which dominates

After supper had a swim in the tank down the canyon. Saw a few bats but didn't get a shot. Also heard Squirrel calls. Sept 14: Ran trap lines before breakfast yielded 18 Perognathus californicus (9?, 9? noemb.) and the tail of another. Also 3 Peromyscus maniculatus 2? (7 usmb, 1 P. true & 4-20mm emb.), and 1 ? Dipodomys. The abundance & dominance of Perognathus is new in my experience. They were seeds in the cheek pouches, mostly a small brown diot. seed but some grass & a few Haplopappus seeds. Did mammals til noon then went out after birds. Collected mocking bird & 2 bells parson & 1 Brown Towhee near camp. In late afternoon set out 36 Museum Special traps on West facing slope (7 paces apart, Walnut bait). Opposite slope I trapped last night. Here the surface of the ground is almost all broken shale with some small scattered brush - Eriogonum and some small composites.

The upper parts of the range are essentially similar to the oak-Juniper-Haplopappus around camp but there are no Rhamnus ilicifolia and its associated species and there is in some places an association dominated by Margarita (wicked) In rather thin chaparral. Associated species were canothus, Scrub oak, Ephedra, Encjommum & Salvia. I took samples of all for identification as to species see Plant list]. The bird life here was also essentially the same as at camp. In 45 minutes by a spring I collected 9 birds (all collected exc Warbling Vireo) and saw a number of others such as Chipping & Salt Sparrows and bluebirds while I didn't try to get. Started back about 10:30 & spent the rest of the day skinning the birds. In the evening set 4 schyler traps in dry wash around camp. Used parts of a Jay for bait. Before going to bed I found a wood rat in one but the skull was neatly bashed across the middle. Reset trap & retired. Sept 17 Schyler traps yielded 1 mouse tail and one Peromyscus maniculatus - quelle denomination ! " went down canyon to seeps & collected birds there saw also a Hummer (sp?).

Ruston 1947 Journal 31, 8mi. W, 3mi. N McArthur, 2100 ft., Kern Co., California. Sept. 17 Set up tent & did some packing up after we finished skinning. In the evening went to the Turrielmanns for dinner of venison steaks. It was particularly nice to get out of the cold damp wind blowing down the canyon. Bedded partly under a tarpaulin. Sept. 18 Breakfasted & broke camp leaving by 6:30a.m. Left Salt & Delwel at the In Panga ranch & drove over the mountains to Pozo to return gas to the forest rangers. It must have rained here in the night. There is a fire break along the top of the mountain which would be a good way to reach the Coulter Pines a little south of the road over the top. Drove back to Shandon via the "metropolis" of Creston with the usual 3 or four characters - half dead - holding up the front of the store. Stopped at Dan McMillans where we met the others and after a short visit left about 10:30. Had lunch at Paso Robles where we left Bill Salt & drove back to Berkeley taking turns driving the trucks. Arrived about 6:30 p.m. After dropping P. Delwel off in Alameda, future field work would be advantageous in this country - especially in spring on McTherney Mountains. The Dario Marting cabin for instance would be a particularly attractive place in April or so when the vegetation is at its best (according to the McMullans) and there would be a chance of finding such things as Black-chinned Sparrow.

PWS tour 1942 Sceloporus microlepidotus Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. February 11, 1942 A series of this species from around Mexico City and another from the slopes of Mt. Popocatepetl are very different in appearance although Hobart Smith includes both in the same race. The lizards from the valley of Mexico are larger and have their markings all but obliterated. Those from the mountain are very clearly marked and smaller. It would be advisable to study the sautellation and other characters to see if the two are actually different forms.

Rostorer 1942 Anniella pulchra Carmel, Monterey Co., Calif. March 7, 1942 Upon arrival at the Williams home in carmel, I was shown a specimen of Anniella which S.aidlaw had found in his mother's garden (sandy loam) near the beach. Mrs. Williams said that she had seen it bury itself tail first in the sand while Mr. W. said that it always went in head first. The lizard was removed from the sand of the aquarium and let go on the surface. Being a tactful beast, it studs both head and tail into the sand and then proceeded to bury itself head first. They seem to be not rare in the more sandy places in this vicinity.

New Stones 1942 Crotia tenuis 1. Head of Strawberry Canyon, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. March 1, 1942 I found a small snake of this species coiled up under a small rock near the top of a hill. The rock had not been in place long, and there was considerable dried grass under it. At first glance, the snake looked like a large Batrachoseps but was rather bright red on the back and had the red of the back bordered by two brighter red bands. The snake was about 6" long and torpid when found. Walt Dalquest found one under very similar conditions about a week ago. It was also under a small rock with dried grass underneath it.

The specimen is an immature one (sex ?) The dorsal stripe is almost gone. It was put under couclii on the basis of range but the intergrades mentioned by Fitch should be reworked. It seems likely that gigas extends farther eastward than he says.

RESTORE 1944 Black-footed Albatross. 1. Nov. 5. "U.S.S. Natonva", Richmond to 35 miles w. Farallon Is & return - San Pablo Bay & Pacific Ocean. Saw four about 9 mi. west of the Farallons & one about midway between the Farallons & the coast. Nov. 13. "U.S.S. Neshoba", Richmond to 30 mi. w. Farallon Is. & return - San Pablo Bay & Pacific Ocean Watched three albatrosses following in the wake of the ship about 12 miles west of the Farallones. The birds usually kept a ship's length or more behind us but once one came fairly close & I could see the light face. Often in gliding they would droop their wings in a rather sloppy manner. Then they would sometimes straighten their wings & gainle appearing above the horizon line. Captain W.H. Lueder tells me that when he was at sea, they used to catch albatrosses by cutting out a triangular piece of sheet metal, similar to the one shown on next page.

Once on board (he says) that the abatoses are unable take off and become "sea sick". The latter must be the well-known ejection of stomach oil.

RedStore 1945 Blacks-footed Albatross Jan 13. "S.S. Muniel Victory", Richmond to 15 mi W. Farallon Is. & Return, San Pablo Bay & Pacific Ocean. Saw a total of 7 albatrosses as follows: 1 just SW Farallons, 3 about 7 mi. W Farallones & 3 about ahead of the Farallones. It would be impossible to say whether these were all different birds or not as they did not appear to follow the ships. They would cross the wake three or four times about 2 or 3 ship lengths behind as & then wander off. Three birds were seen at once on two occasions. Jan 27. "S.S. Beatrice Victory", Richmond to 15 mi. W. Farallon Is., San Pablo Bay & Pacific Ocean 5 miles W. Farallones I saw one Albatross flying quite a way off. It came up to another which was on the water near what looked like some kelp & lighted. saw one more about 7 miles W of the Farallones. Feb. 27. "S.S. Middlebury Victory", Richmond to 15 mi. W.

Bird I had seen (see sketch), (from above) at noon a little way inside the Farallones I saw three Albatrosses, 1 white-rumped (like sketch), one dark, and one solid color but paler than the last. Two of these may or may not be the same that I saw an hour earlier, as their manner of coming close to the ship & then going half a mile or more away makes it difficult to follow them. In the high wind, they were much more at home than the gulls but bent their wing's more than usual. March 20 "SS. Fordham Victory" Same itinerary. Saw several white rumped birds & one which appeared to have white undertail coverts & dark upper overs. Also a bird -all dark- but paler than the others.

Saw 810 (3 at once - rest singles) including 2 or 3 white-rumped birds. The first was near the light ship as was the last. The wind was relatively light and the birds flapped more than I have seen them flap before. Two (separately) came to within 100 yards of the ship. April 27 "S.S.

First albatross seen while were about abeast of the Farallones & the last on the way in about 5 miles south of the Farallones. The most I saw together was 5. At one point we came upon four sitting together on the water. This was about 11:35 when we were 20 miles or so west of the Farallones. One of these birds was light underneath thus, The white of the breast faded gradually into the grayish brown of the throat & upper breast.

The central part of the side of the bill was pinkish. The bird followed us for four hours but seldom came close enough to get a really good view of the pinkish bill or the white around the base of the bill. This bird probably represents the extreme amount of white in the underparts for this species. The light spot near the tip of the wing is due to light primary shafts and is fairly conspicuous.

Point Lobos, Monterey Co., Calif. March 7, 1942 Bird soaring motionless near top of one of the peaks on the point. Sketched from memory March 8, 1942 Wings bent and bird headed into the wind. The bird was rather heavily barred and called quite often, as though it were near its nesting ground. Judging by size, I suspect that this bird was a female but could not be sure. We were unable to see any nesting site from land & it is possible this is on the cliffs on the seaward part of the north coast of the point.

RWStorer 1942 Falco sparverius 2420 Channing Way, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. June 27, 1942. I have noticed a pair of Sparrow Hawks around Telegraph Avenue between Channing Way & Haste Street for some time. On June 21, I saw the ? enter a hole about 6" x 6" in the face of the building in which Hagstrom's Food Store is located. The building is built of brick and there are two series of holes of this size on the front of the building. The nest is in the fourth one up in the more northern row. Today, I saw the ? entering the same hole with food for the young. I could not make out what the food was. The ? occasionally uses the large sign on the Medio Dental building as a perch & eats there. There are at least five other series of holes on the sides and back of the building in which the nest is located and it is odd that under the circumstances the hawks should nest on a busy street side.

Dursley Poorwill 2420 Channing Way, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. June 27, 1942 Last night from 10:50 PM to 12:50 AM, I took awalks up Strawberry canyon, going up orchard Lane to the Top of Panoramic Way, thence to the top of the hill above this and around the upper road around the canyon to the top of the hill above the botanical gardens, down this to the paved road and home via Canyon drive. It was a bright night with a full moon. I heard a poorwill calling from the upper end of the canyon while I was still almost half a mile away. At a distance, the call sounds like two clear whistled notes — — with no slur inbetween. When I got closer the slur could be heard — and when very close a third note on the end was evident — . It resembles the first notes of a Whip-poor-will's call & is a low rattling sort of call. In the upper part of the canyon, I saw one on the road. I approached and as I got about 12 feet away it would rise and flop like a large moth a few feet down the road uttering a low rather mellow note somewhat like that of a robin's "quit-quit-quit-quit" alarm note but

Rostova 1942 Allen's Hummingbird (Anna's Hummingbird) March 21 U.C. Campus, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. 11:00 AM to Noon. Near NW corner of the M.V.Z. watched a ? Allen's Hummer come to a young (10') Horse Chestnut tree (Aesculus hippocastanum) and probe around the new shoots which were just coming out. At first I thought she was after insects and after she flew off I went to the tree to look for aphids on the shoots. I saw none and then thought she might have been after the cufous woolly material which covers the new stems and petioles. In a few minutes she was gack and I watched her closely while she gathered a small ball of this material and flew off with it. I tried to follow her but she disappeared in the Eucalyptus grove to the west. She repeated this two or three times more, and once while I was watching a ? Anna's Hummer came to the tree and also collected a ball of this material and flew off to the WSW to a Calif. Laurel tree. This was undoubtedly used for nesting material

Roster 1948 Bank Swallow July 31 5.5 mi. N Moss Landing, Monterey County, California Went w Mr. & Mrs. Anderson of the Monterey Audubon Society to check up on a Bank Swallow colony which they found in late June of this year. The colony was reached by travelling north on the road from Castroville to Santa Cruz for a distance of 3.4 mi. North of the bridge over Elk Horn Slough, turning left proceeding for .8 mi, turning right proceeding for .5 mi, turning right & proceeding .4 mi. The colony is in a soft sandstone bank perhaps 15' high on the left side of the road. The sandstone is soft enough to excavate easily w ones fingernail and is honeycombed w over 200 holes, most of which Mr Anderson said had been occupied during the earlier part of the season. On this date only about a dozen birds were to be seen flying about and one fledged young in the entrance of a burrow. This bird soon took off & joined the others in flight. The Andersons said they had seen no Rough-winged Swallows there but showed me a Kingfisher hole in the same bank. The bank faces east and thus would photograph best in the morning.

Rostorer 1944 Red-breasted Nuthatch. February 10 Univ. Calif. Campus, Berkeley, Calif. 5 PM Saw a brightly colored bird of this species with somewhat more rufous underneath than usual. The bird was working on a hole about 2" in dia. in a branch of a Monterey Pine (P. radiata) 100 yd. W. of the Hearst Mining building. The hole was a natural one where a branch had been broken or cut off. The wood was evidently rotting and a few small flakes floated to the ground while the bird was working. I don't know whether the bird was excavating a roost or nest site or just after food. However, it will be worth while following up. February 18 Francis Pitellsa says that Joe Marshall found a brood of young in the Eucalyptus grove just west of H.S.B. last summer or the summer before, but failed to record it.

Several birds heard singing between the head of canyon drive (beginning of campus) and this point. One of singing in willow on west end of clearing (open space in road). Sang and foraged in willow until 7:39 when a second bird came in from the west and the two blew off west. 7:40 he appeared 50' uphill and 25' E of E end of clearing in a thin bundle 10' high. Sat in open perch, singing, for 2 min. He returned to the willow. [Both Sp. Hummers, Cal. Wail, Sp Towhee, Warbling Towhee were all singing sideplaying not far away. Bush tits and Ruby-c Kinglet also nearby.] Left willow at 7:51. Two minutes later heard singing in Uparanal uphill and to the W of willow - maybe 25' beyond. Had worked his way back to willows by 7:55. I examined the willow (♀ with well formed but still green seed pods) for insects and collected some small dark green beetles and a small bug (Tingid? ) About 8:09 a Cal Jay appeared in the top of an alder 75' W of the willow but the warbler paid no attention to it.

The nest was on a board between two upright boards (2x4's or 4x4') and about 60' above the ground. It was 3 to 4 feet from a board walk where workmen passed all day & night. With the constant noise of rivetting & clipping & lights at night it is remarkable that the nest was successful. The nest was at about the main deck level, near the stern of the ship & on the East side, i.e. toward way 2 which was perhaps 60 feet away. The photographs were taken by Mr Rose on May 25.

Rwstories 1942 Grasshopper Sparrow Berkeley Hills, Contra Costa Co., Calif. June 20, 1942 7 to 9 AM While hunting skinkles on a hill about 2 miles SE of Grizzly Peaks with Tom Rodgers, Lou met Corvan, Joe Marshall, Hilton Hildebrand, Viola Hemmels & Janet Failla, I heard the characteristic song of this species. The birds were in tall gress on the eastern slope of the hill. We tracked the song down and saw two and heard at least three more. This must be a breeding colony. The grass they were inhabiting was not as dry as most on the hillside, being in more moist pockets. Lou tried to collect one but was unsuccessful.

Restorer 1944 Sorex ornatus 1 mi SE San Benito Rdale, 4400; San Benito Co., Calif. Trapped three specimens of this shrew, one each on the nights of August 7, 8, & 10. The one caught the 8th was caught very close to 9 PM as I heard the trap go off and went to investigate finding the shrew. In each case the bait was fresh walnut meat moistened in the mouth & squashed on the treadle of the trap & all animals were caught on damp ground near the stream & under the dwarf willows (Salix breweri) which grew there. (3 shrews caught in 190 trap/nights) = 63.3 trap/nights per shrew.

RWS Store 1943 Myotis californicus Botanical Garden, Strawberry Canyon, Berkeley, Alameda Co., California. February 14, 1943 About 2:30 PM while in the Botanical Gardens, I was in the vicinity of a small tool shed facing the canyon & on the SW part of the gardens when I heard some squealing which I tried to some bats under a flap of tar paper covering the front corner of the peak of the roof. I collected two and a third one retired to a crack in the ridge pole where could not reach it. Both were 9's with no embryos. The wing outlines are shown on the next page; Wing areas measured by a planimeter at Richmond Shipyard #2, from Harry Mrs. Hinnell (Feb. 19, 1943) says she recalls no other winter record for this area. March 14, 1943 3:45 PM. One Myotis still in roost under tar paper but retired to crack in ridge pole before I could catch it, to band it. Took pictures of shade & roost.

Red Storm 1942 Sea Otter 10th mi.s. Big Sur River, Monterey Co., Calif. March 8, 1942 Three groups of Sea Otters seen in the kelp near sliver about 10 miles south of the mouth of the Big Sur River. The first group was of 6 adults and one young, the next of 3 or 6 adults about 1/2 mile south of the first. About two miles below these there was a large adult with a white head and a 1/4 grown young (these were sketched). The otters in the first group were very quiet. Lying on their back and rarely rolling over slowly. The last (?+young) were more active. Saw the female often take the young on her stomach and swim without it. Then it would leave it and dive down & come up with things that might have been shellfish. Once it held one of these objects and with both paws and repeatedly beat it against her breast. It did not feed the young. Before diving it remained with its head only out of water (A) like Ploceus, it dove quickly and apparently effortlessly.

PewStorea 1948 Sea Otter 1. July 30 Notley's, 1 1/2 mi. N. Mouth Puxby Creek, Monterey Co., California Saw 6 at 11:30 am. Stopped in late pm. (4:50-5:35) about a smallish 5:30 watched a young otter (at least one count light on the head feeding. Attention directed to it by hearing a sort of noise like a cornucant taking off or a mouse scittering. This proved to be caused by the otter's slapping a food article (couldn't tell what kind) with both hands against its chest. At least once, I could see clearly an object about 6" in dia. x 2" deep on the otter's chest- probably a stone. Most of the time this was not visible but could be seen just after the wacking operation. Dove several times once for about 1 1/2 minutes. At first stayed in deep water, then moved toward the shore & dove near a reef which was exposed between waves. Came up a food and a grey rock larger than the first. This was too much for it to manage as the eddies were strong here. Otter evidently lost the rock & dove again and came up with a small food article and a still larger rock which was so heavy that most of the time it weighed down the otter so rock was seldom visible.

Rustorer 1944 Eutamias merianii 1. NW SE San Benito Peak, 4400'; San Benito Co., Calif. Aug 6-12. This animal was extremely abundant in the manganita chaparral and in more or less scattered manganita bushes in this area, its various calls being characteristic noises here. One shot on August 7 had a Manganite berry in its cheek (moult pattern shown on adjacent page). These animals were noticeably less common in the turned over ridges to the east where the bell spanworm occurs.

RewStorey 1944 Thomson's Bottle 1. 1 mi SE San Benito Peaks, 4400', San Benito Co., Calif. August 9. Trapped one near the stream where I set to sets in recently workings about 100 feet apart. One set failed to yield an animal and it is possible that they were the workings of the same animal. Gopher sign was very scarce & only occurred along the stream. See next page for result pattern.

RW Stone 1945 Gray Whale 1. May 20 1 mi S Malpaso Creek, Monterey Co., Calif. While driving south along the coast highway (Rt 1) about 1 mile south of Malpaso Creek, we saw a whale surface 200 yards or so off shore near some kelp beds. After stopping we saw 3 whales travelling north together almost touching each other. They were perhaps 30' long & relatively small-headed baleen whales. There was no dorsal fin but a noticeable angle where the back started sloping to the tail. They were brownish gray heavily mottled on the back. The spout was not high and was rather sloppy probably due to the rather strong on-shore wind. The animals would surface & spout three or four times in a row and would then make a long dive coming up quite a distance to the north.
