R.M.Zink 1979 Journal Woodsford vicinities, Alpine to Lake (cord) 18 July Brush for Fox Sparrows. There's about Ribs, Prunus, Artemisia + a few Antelope brush. There's also lots of large granite boulders - almost too much coming for much duff to accumulate as it looks as though it would be washed away fairly easily. I drove up road to lake. There's a spot about 0.8mi. from the turn to — where a fire went through some time ago. There's still lots of live Jeffrey pines + a considerable amount of young (6-8in.) mon- zanita. There are a few spots where it's higher (2ft) + some Ribs but in general, the good brushy areas are on the W side of the road, as there's a strip of brush below sage/Ribs + above road. I sat 2 Fox Sparrowed at noon. There are lots of scattered pinto fives the brush is interspersed. Returned to camp just 4 day. Rained late afternoon. 19 July Hunted strip of brush across from campground in early a.m. Again noted the brush spp. heterogeneity. There were few birds seen + not too many Cassinella iliaca. At rained mid-day, we headed towards Fickett Peak in late afternoon + hunted along rd. to Fickett flc. 20 July 0600-1200 Hunted area 2mi. W Fickett Creek. This area is a mosaic of micro-habitats, but sufficient brush to support a large density of Fox Sparrows (see pp. acox).
