Amold 1937 Primitive Area, Strawberry Canyon Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif. Dec. 20 and a Sharp-shinned Hawk seen in south of trail near the west fence (206 yds. east). Other birds not recorded. Dec 21, I went up to the area with Dr. Alden Miller. We were walking around the Northwest corner of the area at 12:35 when we frightened a covey of twenty Valley Quail. Most of them remained on the outside of the fence but five flew into the area— Three flying across the small ravine into the tangle of Current, gooseberry and poison oak. I saw one Hermit Thrush. We heard a Townsend warbler in the cypress trees on the outside of the fence. On driving at the north gate I saw the following: 2 Flickers; 2 Brown Towhees; 1 Calif. Jay; 1 Golden-crowned Sparrow. Five Green-backed Goldfinches flew east over this end of the area; 2 Wren-fits. Dr. Miller called my attention to the fact that the oak-moth larvae had been feeding on the oak tree near the fence.
