Went to next area and spent 1000-1900. I noticed
the first sizable occurrence of low dense brush
and saw a Fox Sparrow. This entire burn area
should prove valuable. Will need to check
catals maps for nearest area that Fox sparrows
could have invaded from - thru extent rage of
burn. The area is hilly w/ many standing dead + some
live trees. There were many birds noted in
association with this area: Finches (Horse's conies) were numerous
