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
