1937 Primitive Area - Berkeley
Dec. 20 lower trail I saw: 2 Hermit Thrushes;
1 Wren-fit; Song Sparrow; Spotted Towhee;
Calif. Jay; 4 Juncos; 2 Ruby Crowned
Kinglets. While tending my traps I
did not attempt to keep bird notes.
Upon going up the south trail I noted
a male run about 75 feet south of the
creek above the large bay tree where
the trail goes up (m. on map - trail too
far from east fence). From here I
continued on up the trail - through
the Sequoias, and out into the brush.
I noted two Ruby-crowned Kinglets
in the pines. There was a flock of
approx. fifty Juncos high upon the
side hill above the path. I also saw
2 Fox Sparrows; several (heard)
Wren-fits; several (heard) Hermit Thrushes
& two Spotted Towhees.
At 3:00 P.M while sitting beside
the fence on the west side of the
area I saw a Sparrow Hawk flying
over the pines on Monument Hill).
It was calling with its usual note.
I also saw a Red-tailed Hawk far
west of the area. I had very good
luck in my traps this morning -
catching a number of mammals
