1937 Primitive Area, Strawberry Canyon, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif Dec. 16 A Calif. Thrasher was seen across the canyon in a single clump of Bacchus as shown on themap. Two Juncos in oaks (1:20) as shown on map. (Others heard). An Audubon Warbler seen flying down the canyon at this point. This is the place where we saw such a large flock of Juncos three days ago. At 1:40 P.M. I am on the top of the knoll from Monument Hill. I saw two Western Quetchers in the ravine just west of here. I also heard several Bush-tits but could not see them. From this vantage point I can hear Wren-tits on the opposite hill but can not place the exact spots where they are. I frightened a flock of approx. 20 Valley Quail from the low Bacchus bushes just south of the crest of the hill. Some of them flew over the hill and two 1/7 in the pines at the top of the hill. No birds seen on top of Monument Hill. I noticed two small pine trees start- ing to grow. Beneath one of the larger Pinus radiata on the top of the hill. Apparently this tree has become acclimated enough to start reproducing in this area. I just saw a 3 inch Scoloporus run down
