Arnold 1957 M.V.Z. Berkeley, Calif. Oct. 6, 1951 one time there was probably a gate at this point but at present I think it is entirely wired over so that I had to climb over. As it is the only way to get into the area besides coming down from the botanical garden and going down in the very steep "gorge" where the creek flows I believe that there should be a locked gate placed at that point. Oct 10, 12:03 PM Primitive Area — S.C. T. Calif Ground Squirrel seen sitting on hillside 100 yds. west of fence — 100 yds. north of Creek. Is calling from high point on rocks. Two others seen running along hillside. All of these seen on bare ground of botanical garden. Birds seen: 1 Calif Jay carrying acorn; Two Steller Jays Remains of Spotted Towhee found under large bay(?) tree 100 ft. east of trail "gate" near creek on west side. Large sploches of white excrement seen among and near the feathers. Large bird (not able to get good look at it but apparently about the size of Cooper Hawk) frightened from 2nd Bay Tree east of fence. Tile of old dung about Coyote size found 300 yds. east of
