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
