July 11 Wolsey Canyon, Berkeley, 800 ft., Alameda Co., Calif.
This morning between 10 and 11 o'clock,
I walked along the north face of the
ridge separating Wolsey and Strawberry
Canyons, from where J. T. Marshall
reported several interesting species --
including Lawrence Goldfinches and Gaschecker
Finch - which he had observed on
July 10. I took a circuitous route, following
the the margin of the oak-Umbellularia
stand along the creek up to the lower
limit of the Artemesia, not far from
the upper end of the canyon forest,
then turned southward over the
open hills for a short distance, then
westward north of the Cyclotron and
back to the mouth of the canyon. This
route included the wildest growths
along a shallow drainage course running
NNW from the vicinity of the Cyclotron
into Wolsey Canyon.
California Quails called in the
marginal thickets along the edge of the
oaks and bay trees! Anna Hummers
were encountered frequently. Both a
Downy and a Hairy Woodpecker were
heard calling within the deeper, lower
end of the canyon. The Hairy was heard
