Hoosed a Sceloporus jarrovi off tree (S/A 185) ~11:00am. Snagged a juv. S. jarrovi off rock near camp ~ 11:30 (S/A 186). Both specimens near canyon bottom. Stream flow intermittent and disappearing ~ 1000 yds. above camp. Aquilegia w/ bright yellow upright flowers found growing on seepsages. Returned to camp ~ 11:30 to skin Phrynosoma & Sceloporus for skeletons. Sighted white-throated Swift (Aeronautes saxatalis) wheeling above clearing on cany. bottom. Scared off a White- breasted Nuthatch (Sitta carolinensis) from tree near camp while getting out equipment. While skinning lizards, sighted B S. jarrovi(S/A 187) jumping from rock to rock down the dry stream bed. Caught another S. jarrovi (?) on rocks around drinking fountain. Talked to some Coronado Nat'l Forest personnel. Described Bipes and one of the three said he'd seen something like that in the "Cherry-cows". Talked to another fellow (1/3 yr. resident) while setting traps @Florida cany. Said he'd seen lizard w/ vestigial legs (ie. something like Bipes) ~ 208 years ago under a mesquite tree & came back up-canyon from where we were(ie Madera Cany. road & Florida cany.)

Arizona Nat'l Forest men said Trogons (T. elegans) were nesting up canyon from our camp & asked if we'd heard them (Sage thought he had the site before). Also reported a bat cave (ie. old mine couple hundred feet deep) @ end of Bog Springs road (ie. dirt road) where some prof. from Calit had taken 'couple hundred common bats & 7 rare ones'. Finished skiers ~3:00pm & hiked back up canyon & noosed 2 more (&+?) S. jamovi), between rocks. Sightied several Mexican Jays & (Aphelocoma ultramarina). Whole upper part of the canyon is very reminiscent of Santa Anita Cny. (+San Gabriel cny.), San Gabriel Mtns in Calif. Yuccas - Oaks, Sceloporus (occidentalis) Jays (Calif), Phrynosoma (cervinata), Campopeltis (pyromelana vs. zonata) make the 2 seem all the more similar.

Sage shot an adult Cuemidopluons (SJA 189) & saw another @ the trap site. Anuran tadpoles (SJA 188) were numerous in the pools along the stream course. Many (~50) coreid (?) hemipterans were found congregating on a 35' tree along the stream margin. About 15 prs. were copulating; holding on to the under-side of branches. A few (~5) coreids were seen on a nu. neighboring mesquite but the majority were either crowing about, resting or copulating on the larger tree. In route back to camp (~8:30pm) a pauraque (Nyctidromus albicollis) wheeled cross the road. Several mule deer were sighted.

Arnold, Steven 1965 17 June (Emi. E. Matamoros, Coahuila, Mexico (11:30AM - 1:45PM) Stopped 1mi. W of one of Zweifels Uua exul localities. Uua quite abundant; ~30 siguted of which 15 shot (.22 dust shot) + 2 rooted. U. exul holds tail well above ground while running; curled slightly upward. The 1st one I shot I thought was a Callisaurus until after it was hit; when it stopped running (sub-adult) curled its tail upward + slightly askew, Callisaurus style. One mile was observed before being flushed. Came walking out from under a sm. shrub on to hard-pau some-what stiff legged w/ tail held @ 30° angle, gently curved. The red-orange color of the upper eyelid + rostal region was very conspicuous. Several times, 3 or 4 Uua were flushed simultaneously. One would be chased to a distinct mesquite (?) flushing yet further + so on until we were trying to keep track of 3or 4 critters. Territory violations? Of seven stomachs some examined, lg. red ants = primary food item. Locality consists of fine wind blown dunes 1' to 6' high interspaced w/ caked mud-clay hardpan. mesquites(?) = predominant plant + primary refuge

no comparable interaction observed btw. llamaeekal + Cuanid, & . @ one time the 2 of us were working one time when contour 3 llma + one Cuemi. On one occasion during the stalking a jwn llm + adult Cuemi stopped w/in 4 inches of one another w no sign of antagonism.

uld, Steven J. 1965 20 June Llemi. N.W. Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico (4:06PM-4:45PM) Made 2 stops to collect insects on plants growing near on roadside. At each stop collected for ~ 100yds. out both sides of road. Surrounding area low hills, sparse vegetation, agricultural; dominant wild plant away from roadside = woody spiny leguminosae. At 1st stop made general collection of conspicuous forms; w/out specific notice taken of most plant but majority of collecting done off of SJA Bot.#3 (______________), herbaceous plant to 2meters high w/ lg. entire bright-green lvs. [particularly attracted Chrysomelids, Coccinellids & Lygaeids]; SJA Bot.#5, a/x white flowered Asclepiadaceae w/ inflorescence - Zinnia acrad. to ~18" high. A 2nd stop was made ~500yds. down the road. Stage concentrated on SJA Bot.#5 (______________) while worked on a purple flowered Solanaceae w/ erect yellow flowers, ~12"high (SJA Bot.#4, ___________________________) Of all of the insects collected on the day trip, only four five species had pollen sacs adhering to their legs; a lg. Sphecid wasp w/ 2 bright orange abdominal segments had about 20 pollen sacs stuck to legs & abdominal hair on each of 4 specimens collected; one of 2 specimens of a lg. metallic blue Pepsis impendens (Pompilid) had 10 pollen sacs on 4 front legs;

Coatepeque, Guatemala: a Bacto (SJA 220) near POB taken @ same locality. Returned to motel in Coatepeque (Virginia Hotel) about 9:00pm & looked for frogs on motel grounds. As I approached a pig pen situated @ back of grounds I noticed a medium sized bat (~6" long) hanging upside down on the cement wall inside the pen. (Desmognathus?) I circled around the pen hoping to nab it w/ a lg. cyroside bottle but by the time I'd reached the other side & had my head lamp lite on @ the spot again it was gone. Pen was occupied by one pig). Still sprinkling intermittently; found ♂ Smilisca baudini sitting in rain gutter on side of pig pen. A juvenile Basiliscus vittatus' (SJA 224) 283mm (snou.) which found clinging to the cement wail on outside of pen, asleep. Two an. Myli's were taken (__________) SJA 226-227; one on a rain & soaked ledge row + the other climbing up a stucco wall.

Belle Army 1965 Jan Feb 4, 1965 Feb. 4 Mann Ranch - 14mi NW Warner Springs, San Diego Co. Calif. Motha and I went collecting about 12 PM- 1PM. From the ranch house we went down to the stream W of there. Shot a & Audubon's Warbler from one of the upper branches here. His ? was present in the area and could be heard for a time. The day was clear, cool, and a little dry. No leaves yet on the Cottonwoods. Moving downstream, I shot a ? Yellow-billed Sapsucker from a dead but erect tree. She was about 15 feet off the ground, called frequently. Farther downstream we climbed out of the stream bed into the Chapparal area of scrub and oak. We followed a flock of Hutton Vireos and Bush Tits through this area and finally shot a & and a ? Vireo, and then a Bush Tit. The Bush Tit is decidedly darker than other forms of the Minimus race, and may approach melanura color in fresh plummage. Also took a shot at a Brown Creeper and missed. Bird life was generally scarce this day. Lots of Bluebirds around, Red tailed Hawks, Lawrence's Goldfinch near the house.

White breasted nuthatch

1965 Bird Arrey Journal July 3 contd on the Doug Fir. A house wren was seen at our campsite, which is on the edge of the grove, beyond which is a field of alfalfa 2 feet high. The wren made several foraging trips into the field, singing as he did in his scratchy voice (scold?). He would stay in the alfalfa lost to life for a few seconds then return to the surrounding foliage and sing and preen. This lasted about 5 minutes. At noon today we stopped at the town park in Grant Pass Oregon on the banks of the Rogue River. Here we ate lunch and watched 2 belted kingfishers on the E. Side of the river. They were flying about over the river calling, and it appeared chasing one another. Sometimes they would alight singly or some thrown up logs on the other side. They were not seen to go into the water for fish. Also in the park we noticed a nighthawk which flew off its perch about 30 feet up in a Doug Fir, flew around for about 15 seconds and then returned and settled down. By the wing markings it appeared to be a lesser nighthawk chordeiles minor. I don't think it was foraging, rather feeding.

1965 Bill Avery Journal (Hurricane Ridge road) July 4 drove about 5 miles up into Olympic Natl Park. No campsite here so we took a small road leading toward Elwaki(?). After about 2 miles we turned off a side road which leads to a small stream and a clearing. We set up camp, but broke it later to move to a better spot farther down the road. Here it is still light at 9 PM. Alders around the stream, Doug fir, and some sequoias making a very dense forest with dense damp undergrowth of ferns and other herbs, low alders mostly. Have seen no birds, heard chickadees and a Western flycatcher. Also a pewee and one or 2 that can't identify. No woodpeckers. Appears to have been logged once because of the cut trunks, decaying in the stream bottoms etc. Mileage 55674 June 6:95 AM July 5 July 5 - Traveled down to Port Angeles Wash and caught ferry to Victoria B.C. $10.40! Day cold, foggy to surface of ocean. Halfway across the fog began breaking and could watch birds. Saw mostly West gulls, but some cormorants, 1 pelagic for sure seen near shore on a log preening & resting. As we approached Victoria some small brown birds were seen flocking on the water with gulls. These I thought to be murres until closer approach proved them to be puffins, tufted puffins. Further in I saw some oyster catchers flying in toward sea rocks. We went from Victoria to Swartz Bay in time to catch 12 AM ferry to Vancouver.

28/05/91 (Hand written) I agree that the sign of struggle is a turtle's shell. I have to admit that it's hard to see a bird in an owl. It's a different kind of thing. You can't just look at it and say, 'Oh, that's a bird.' But I think it's because we're so used to seeing things from a distance that we don't notice them when they're close up. And yet, if you get close enough, you might find something surprising. Like how some birds are actually just insects wearing feathers as camouflage. It seems almost like a trick of nature - but isn't it? The whole world is full of surprises if you take the time to look closely. Even things we think we know about can turn out to be completely different from what we expected. Take the case of the so-called 'lost' species. Scientists thought they were extinct until someone found a single egg in a cave in Mexico. Now, there's hope that these creatures might still exist somewhere hidden away from our view. And who knows? Maybe one day we'll discover more amazing secrets about the natural world - and learn to appreciate them even more.

1965 Bill Army Journal July 5 at the landing I saw crows, all about the same size, but 2 different calls were heard, a higher pitched caw, and a low guttural one. I watched one crow, probably Corvus b. corvinus poking among the weeds and rocks of the shore, probably foraging. Large numbers of crows were not seen to be on the beach however, and must have been seen in the forests along the coast, usually up in the trees. The increased prevalence of crows has been evident here in the Northwest region however. The ferry from Swartz Bay ($9.40) was uneventful. We loaded and got straight on the road for Hope, Chilliwack etc. We passed right through Chilliwack, then Hope and started on to Kamloops but decided to camp at American River, 1.5 mile W of Spuzzum. The water here was swift and clear and emptied into the Fraser River below. Little bird life noted, though Swainson's thrush was heard often. Here we discovered with the B&Q oil company's help, a bearing failure in the RHD, Rear wheel, decided to return to Chilliwack for repairs. July 6 Up early and drove slowly back to Chilliwack. Got rear wheel repaired but this depleted money supply so we wired back to Berkeley for more. The money hadn't arrived by 5 PM so we drove up the Chilliwack River about 5 miles from town to camp.

1965 Bill Arney Journal July 4 The river is wide, very rapid, still high, and a little unclear yet. I fished, caught 2 small Bunows and noticed a double crested Cormorant flying off downstream rapidly. 2 such flights were seen, possibly a pair nesting here. Robins are abundant; also swansons thrushes, song sparrows. We saw 2 nighthawks flying above at about 8:30 PM. One called loudly, they circled in their characteristic flight pattern, and left. milage 55912 July 7 Got into Chilliwack by 9 AM. Had front bearing replaced and at 10 AM the money had arrived. We started for Wells Gray Park about 11 AM. We got into clear water at about 5 PM. We then drove about a mile up the dirt road leading to the park and camped at Bean Creek for the night. The creek is full, rapid and clear and brush around the stream was very dense, especially the Rhubarb. A very dense coniferous forest with cedar, fir, etc. Many old logs decaying in the humus. Saw a glimpse of a canada joy heading upstream rapidly. One is impressed with the temperate main forest aspects of this forest. It rained for a short time during the night. Day/te f/i 9:45 July 8 Up late. While eating breakfast a song sparrow approached in the brush (Rhubarb 2 ft high), and I shot him. A little later, I shot a Western flycatcher across the road on a swing. We packed up. I heard and tracked down a house wren singing furiously.

Biosurvey Journal 1965 July 8 contd. Continued on to road to Wells Gray, stopping frequently. At a ranch with a stream we saw 2 evening grosbeaks at streamside, and I observed them bathing. On the Clearwater River after entering the Park, we learned at Dawson Falls Campsite from 2 friendly people about a tragedy of the night before. A car with 6 people went off into the river after stalling on the grade up to the cleft from the bridge; 3 killed. Continuing on we stopped to look at Helmcken Falls. A spectacular site, the water plunges about 100 feet to the canyon below. The canyon walls are basaltic, and this appears to be the same geologic phenomenon as in our Columbia Plateau w/ Snake River, Columbia River etc. At a stop on the river we saw a family of Common Mergansers, a female with 6 chicks about half grown, still with lots of down. We scared them off the near bank and they went swimming off downstream, carried by the current which was considerable and finally we saw them make the other side. The river was about 300 yds wide here. In its forest, I caught a brief glimpse of an American Rooster. Make Camp on Fales Creek at the south end of Clearwater Lake. The lake is actually a widening in the river, although it is long and very wide but seems to be moving. We are camped among Spruce? Alders, birches, cedar and dense undergrowth. Soil type is volcanic with small cones behind us.

1965 Bill Arvey Journal Have seen Steller's jays in the campsites, a western tanager, some junco's, fleetingly as they are not too common here. Saw a spotted Sandpiper down on the lake. July 9- Up at 8 AM. Went bird watching around the camp. Saw junco's close by. All appeared to be Oregon junco's although they are rather dark. Near campsites in Spruce tree are a pair of golden kinglets. Saw a MacGillivrae warbler in beautiful plumage near by foraging about 10 feet up in conifers. He came up with a moth of some sort and was very excited, jumped around with it. A single Audubon's warbler was in the same tree. Saw a tennessee warbler, very grayish, probably the male. 2 spotted sandpipers met me in the road. They were excited about my presence, ran a few steps, stopped and pumped their rear ends up and down. The bill was bright red on both. Probably hiding a nest. Saw 2 or 3 robins, one sang for a long time. Near the boat landing I watched a male American redstart singing and chasing other birds off his territory. By the waters edge I watched a family of Northern Waterthrushes moving up the river edge. One parent was being chased by 3 or 4 young and had to move rapidly to keep ahead. The parent had much more rufous on it than the young, a more conspicuous eye stripe also. The young looked more like Song Sparrows. Left at 11:30 to drive about 15 miles back to the Helmcken Falls area on the Clearwater River. Here I fished til 5 PM,

Rio Arvey Journal. 1965 July 9 cont'd Catching 26 rainbows all about 7 inches long + On the way back we saw a family of crows. They were very large and had deep voices, probably Corvus b. heppneri. Tried to get a shot at one but they sat in a huge cedar tree which hung out over the river. On the road we saw a (spaces) ruffed grouse hen with at least 2 chicks. She seemed very unconcerned about our coming and casually walked back off the road into the brush. Saw at one spot about 6 or more flickers, very darkly marked. Why they were assembled in this area, I don't know because we haven't seen any others. Here I also saw a western tanager male. The most common bird along the roadside is the junco it appears. Have seen no evidence of shore birds other than the spotted sandpipers. (Saw a water ouzel at the stream at campsite, foraged awhile at water edge.) July 10 Up at 8:10 AM. Rained Hard during night. overcast skies. Took a walk around campsite but things were quiet compared with yesterday. Saw a thrush briefly. Stellar's jays were ranging as usual. American redstart was in approx. the same place as yesterday. Empidonax flycatchers were very abundant this morning, I spotted them 3 or 4 times. watched a parent feeding a brood down by the boat dock. Saw a \varphi ruby-crowned kinglet in some conifers. A winter wren was seen on the ground foraging in the shrubbery. Unmistakable with very short tail, heavy barring, line over eye.

Bice arrow Journal 1965 cont'd July 10 At 10:30 Marty and I started off on the trail to Fingers Lakes. There is no mileage posted at the head. The trail winds through the forest and after about 1.5 miles, the lake is reached which is on the other side of a lowland marsh. In the marsh are many song sparrows. We didn't try to reach the lake. No birds were seen on the lake itself which is about 4 a mile long. It appears to be used Trail mostly by hunters in season. The mosquitoes thrive on the moist undergrowth and one cannot stand still without becoming drained of his bodily fluids by these insects. There are just swarms of them. Not much bird life was noted either coming or going. On the way there we saw many juncos, I shot 1 immature one. An Empidiorax was seen. I shot a ? yellow billed sapsucker of a burned snag. On the way back I shot a young one in the same area. A Macgillivray's Warbler was seen near the trail head. A Townsend's warbler was seen also. A heavy downpour occured on the hike back. July 11 Up late, Ate, raining since about 8 AM. It stopped about 11AM and I took my gun and went again up the Five Fingers lake trail. A Macgillivray's Warbler played with me for awhile but I couldn't shoot it. About 25 yds up the trail a red eyed vireo jumped out in plain site on a branch and I shot him.

Bill Arvey Journal 1965 July 11 saw a golden crowned kinglet which came down to investigate me. Further in about half a mile, as I was trying to get a shot at a warbler, an Empidonax came in close and I got him. On the way back I saw a thrush (sp). Bird life quiet because of the rain generally, and I spent the afternoon skinning. July 12 Started for Lava Beds at 1030 AM. The trail starts up sharply over the hill then down to Falls creek which tumbles thru a gorge of Schist there. Above the schist layer seems to be a basaltic layer, up out of its gorge then over across some forest where we saw in one small glade. ? & ? American Redstarts, ? Macgillivray's W., & magnolia warbler. It seemed as if the calls of one kind attracted all these to that spot. After the forest came the Lava beds. This is a surface layer of volcanic froth which seems to extend for a square mile or more. The vegetation is sparser here with no herbaceous undergrowth. Cariboo? do forage here as evidenced by dropping. Many burned snags stick up in this area. On one was a West Wood Pewee. Another seemed a favorite for R. shafted flickers, we saw 3 come and leave in a very short while. One was lighter, had no red mustache which looked like it could have been a yellow shafted but we didn't see him fly. This seemed to be a roosting place for Common nighthawks also, before long 3 were flying around. One dove several times making a whirring sound as he pulled out.

Bill Arvey journal 1965 July 12 contd. Saw some cedar waxwings here also. came back, circling around the boat landing. Saw 2 Spotted Sandpiper chicks here with down, running around on the road cut. They bobbed their tail like adults. After we left the parent came rushing back. At the landing we watched a family of what appeared to be chipping sparrows. Here also was a pair of dark birds, blackbird or cowbird size flycatching. Though I watched for awhile could not identify them for sure. Since the day was + clear, Insects were out and so were swallows, swifts. Saw Tree swallow come down and land in the dirt road by the landing, he picked around on the ground for 1/2 a minute then flew off. Rough wing swallows are abundant here, seem to be playing with each other over the water, flying & chasing in big circles. I think I saw Vaux Swifts also. Dark smile, tumbling flight, none of the White-throated's distinctive marks, small tail. At 6 I walked downstream on the Clearwater river and caught 4 trout about 7" long. I went back after dinner and caught 6 more (about 12" long each) on 15 miles which must weigh over a lb. Lost 38 lbs. July 13 - up at 8, break camp, leave by 10. Mileage 56287. Traveled to 6:30, 'til we're about 5 miles north of Penticton B.C. on Hwy 5. We caught a dirt road which is used by subdividers to take us up to a mesa where's over - looks on town and Okanagan lake. Here it is Ponderosa

1965 Bill Avery Journal recent July 13 Pine and sagebrush. We are on top of some lake deposits of mud which are weathering out toward the lake making mudstone spires and cliffs. Here I saw 2 sparrow hawks as if they had a nest nearby. The lights of the town are visible from here and it seems rather large. mileage 56549 mileage 56953

Bico Away Journal 1965 1965 July 24, Sat. - with Doctor Miller at Pelagic Cormorant nest site, Bodega Bay headlands behind U.C. Marine Biology Facility. On cliffs of decomposing, crumbly, igneous (granitic?) rocks. Diagram of nest sites & observation point. X- pt. of observation 6 nests with nestlings are under observation, One containing freshly killed young is also being watched. Nest 1 is uppermost on the cliff. At 945 AM there are 2 adults guarding 2 very small, probably less than 2 day old nestlings and 1 unhatched egg.

1965 Bill Army Journal July 24 One parent is in brooding position now, but stood upright when we arrived, just now has settled back. Nest 2 has 3 > 1/2 grown young. at 9:45 contains 1 parent, from which the 3 are actively begging. The parent has stepped away from them, onto a more exposed position on the cliff face. Nest 3 contains 1 large > 1/2 grown young, with one attendant parent. Nest 4 has 2-3 quiet young ~ 1/2 grown, one parent guarding at 9:53 AM. Nest 5 has one 2/3 grown young, w/ 2 attendant parents. Nest 6 has 3 1/2 grown young, one attendant parent at 9:55. Observations: 9:57 - 4 - young actively begging from parent 9:58 - 1- The crouched parent, opened mouth, raised off nest, flew away, making 2 or 3 half circles, then disappeared around point. The remaining parent, which is apparently less iridescent, now crouches over young. The young of nests 1 and 4 at least show pink gular sacs when seen from the exterior. When viewed head on they appear to resemble a mouth in open gape which may be its function in stimulating the parent to feed. It seems to be somewhat inflatable, and is most pronounced when begging.

Rice Arvey Journal. July 31 Pt. Lobos. 9:30 AM. Arrived at Colony. Overcast w/ low clouds - Fog. Temperature 60-65°. Observing Bird Island from about 150yd. 945. Sun beginning to break through. We have 3 general nesting groups of Brandt's Cormorants under observation. There is a colony at the far Southern part of the wave cut terrace which will be number 1. It appears to have many more nests hidden from view but I can observe about 30 nests. The center (number * 2) Colony has 100 + nests which appear to be under different stages of construction, rebuilding and incubation. Colony is N. side of rock, on sloping rocky part beneath the terrace; (number 3) appears to be as extensive with perhaps 100 nests. Cormorant activity is rather slow right now, may pick up as the sun appears. Some cormorants can be seen in various courtship displays, even though the birds in question are associated w/ nests. Many appear w/ bright blue/gular pouches. About the nests are seen Leaman's gulls, adults and juveniles, and when we first came we saw a large number of this species roosting w/ pelicans near the parking lot. Some may be seen walking among the cormorant nests without causing great disturbances. Brown Pelicans are very abundant in many plumage stages; these do not walk among cormorant nests and there is a sharp dividing line between nesting pelicans and cormorant nests. Also common here are western gulls, though not numerous at present. At least one

Bill Arvey Journal July 31 Pt Lobo - Pre fledging Western has been seen on Bird Island. Most of the observed Westerns have been adults here. Also dodging among the Cormorant nests [illegible] are 1-4 Black Tornstones. Their calls may be heard above the gulls at times. These birds walk around the rocks presumably picking off fleas. Many of the cormorants can be seen fluttering the gular area as they sit in full brooding position (or incubating). Whether the nesting season is almost terminated is difficult to determine because many are in tight nest protection positions and one cannot see nest contents. A high proportion of large young can be seen however. In colony 1, many young appear to be > 2/3 grown, young cannot be seen in early developmental stage, altho this may be present beneath parents. Many birds are scavenging around w/ seaweed. Some nests are being broken up and carried away. 10:05AM. Coming and going to colony is at a very low ebb. we will hereby concentrate observations on 3 nests in group 3. They form a triangle with its apex toward us. Nest 1, 1 adult sits incubating or brooding closely w/ mouth 1/2 open fluttering gular area. At 10:08 appears to be alone. Nest 2 contains 3, 1/2 grown young. An adult stands over them, not brooding at 10:09. Nest 3 at right side of triangle contains 2 or 3(?) from 1/2 to 2/3 grown young. On parent guards, w/ back to us at 10'10

The 3 turnstones are in the immediate area of the triangle. 10^18 young in 2 flutters gulew area. 5 birds are standing in vicinity of (1), apparently none belongs to it. 10^19 one young leaps in (2) 10^22 - all adults seen preening. 10^22-2- young standing upright, there are 2 definitely.

Bill Arvey Journal July 31 PT Lobos. 1029 An adult lands near 2, apparently doesn't belong to it, but to a nest nearby, but hidden from our view. 1045 -1- incubating adult threatens west gull which approaches within about 3 feet, but does not arise from the crouched brooding position. In this threat the head and neck are shot straight out in the gulls direction, and then repeated, in the manner of a strike. 1050 -1- a young seen beneath parent, appears quite young, in much earlier stage of development than the others observed. 1051 -1- Young feeds by putting head into parents pouch, No punches, head doesn't enter throat. 4 feedings in rapid succession are thus observed. 11 1/3 . Adult arrived 10 minutes ago, sat below nest, preening. Hasn't yet fed young Now both parents present at 3. 11 1/4 Both adults preening. at 3 1120 -3 - young begging from both parents with a sidewise motion very much like that of Pelagic Corm. 1120 feeding at 3- from parent which had been at nest. Feeding lasts 10 seconds. Young still begs. 1121 -3 feeds from newly arrived parent. 1122 -3 - another feeding contact. Note: young of Brandt's cormorant do not have a similar red gular patch that is conspicuously present in Pelagic Cormorant young. 1124 Young rises and stretches at 2.

Bico Survey - Journal July 31 Pt. Lobos. 1135 Adult recently arrived at 2 - now standing and preening. Note: In contrast with the pelagic Cormorant, the brandti do not usually come directly to the nest site to relieve its parent. I have usually seen them walk not fly up to the nest and then stand about drying & preening before approaching the nest. 1135-2 - newly arrived parent now walks to cliff face, looks around, preens a little, [illegible] steps closer to edge - now flies into water directly below, swims 4-5 feet out and dives. - a long dive - over 60 seconds. 1140 a bird stands 1 foot to right of 2 but not clearly associated with it, appears to be drying, preens. 1140 an adult has been standing near 1, not associated yet. Diving and feeding occurs often directly below nest sites, as well as bathing. 1145 - now newly arrived at 1 seems to associate w/ nest - the parent rises off nest, new one moves in takes its place and settles down. Parent which rose stretches and preens. 1149 - 3 - feeding takes place. 1150 - 3 - another " " 1152-2 - appears unattended. An adult stands 2 feet above on a rock - moves up and away.

Bill Arvey - Journal July 31 1154 - 3 - Adult returns -1- relieved parent still stands by preening. Many times upon arrival, the birds do not fly directly in but hop up a few feet at a time from the water's edge. This is especially true for group 3 which is nearest to water. 1204 Ceasing observations at 2 since uncertainty has arisen as to whether there are 1 or 2 nests there. Cormorants can be seen entering the water, and leaving, on a sloping shelf below group 3. After leaving water, feathers appear slightly wet, but not to a great degree. Drying consists of 1 or 2 strong wing flaps, preening, but very few extended periods of wing spread and holding. Ceasing observations here for this day. 3 PM. Whalers Cove- Pt. Lobos. Here we meet George Charnist and his wife- also its range naturalist Fred Vander (built?)(map?). Out on the edge of Relp in Whalers cove is a ♂ eared grebe swimming around. George takes us over to Guillemot Rock on the Whalers cove trail to observe cormorants there. This rock is about 10' from the mainland, and about 50' high with Pelagic, Brandt's Cormorants, pigeon Guillemots, and W. gulls nesting on it. Pelagics are on the E side of the rock, as usual on its steeped faces and have about 10 pairs. Brandts are on top the rock and in some of the more protected shelves of the face.

Bill Arvey journal. July 31 Pt. Lobos, The dividing line between Brants and pelagic nests is not sharp because pelagic and Brants' nests may be close together. The determining factor I believe is the precariousness of nest site position. Two pelagic nests are seen with dead young. 1 has a dead young and a live healthy on living on top of the dried carcass. This one didn't die too long ago as judged by its stage of development. In the other are probably 2 dried carcasses with a clutch of 3 eggs, laid on top of the bodies. They are unattended however. That pelagic young do fall from nests is evidenced by our seeing a young pelagic trying to get back up to its nest from a lower position to which it fell. It does not seem possible for it to do so and the parents have ignored it up to now. I doubt if it is being fed. Pigeon guillemots are nesting on the rock and can be seen entering nests with small fish in beaks.

Bico Away Journal Aug 14, 1965 Mono Lake, Mono Co., Calif. Stopped at 3:45 PM on way to hike. I am amazed at the huge numbers of shore birds observed. I walked down to the far north shore, where columns of clay or mudstones are weathered into 20+ foot spires. Some of these columns are in the water, where gulls are roosting, and some are on shore and contain great numbers of roosting blackbirds. From the car, the vegetation is sage brush, which gives way to a higher, more dense thicket farther down. After this a long sloping marsh-grassland continues to the shoreline. Large numbers of California gulls, adults and first year birds, line the shore and some can be seen further out in the lake also. Possibly ringbills are present but my gull identification does not permit positive identification. Great numbers of Northern Phalaropes are seen at the water's edge, some even outside the water working in the pools. About 10 avocets were counted, all along the shore or flying near shore. The most common bird by far here is the eared grebe which can be seen sitting on the water far out into the lake in quite dense concentrations, possibly extending to the south side. Also along the bank can be seen about 15 of what appear to be long billed dowitchers, altho none shows any remnant of breeding plumage. This identification is very questionable. At 6:30 PM we meet Jim & Barrie Blattau at the Mammoth Lakes turnoff. We spend the night in Mammoth Village after buying some camping equip. at sporting goods store, ie Primus stove 12°°, boots for Barrie 12°°, sleeping bag liners, ground cloth

Aug 14 Could It rained til late into the night, hard at times. Apparently rain has occurred daily in the afternoons for 1 ½ months here. Aug 15, Sun. We take Jim's car to Agnew meadows, after packing up. Here we begin our hike to 1000 Island lake and other points. We start with clear skies, up the high trail to 1000 Is. Lake. The trail leads up a ridge to the east of Agnew Meadow with a good angle. We soon reach an altitude where we begin traversing the length of the long canyon, which eventually reaches Devils Postpile to the south. Along the trail are willows, gooseberries, many flowering annuals, grasses, and scattered conifers. We see white crowned sparrows, pine siskins?, Cassin's finches, Empidonax sp., Pine grosbeaks, Oregon juncos, Clark's nutcracker, red-sh. flickers. In the afternoon it begins raining. By this time we had decided to take the low trail instead of the high trail and had descended, cross country from the canyon wall to the trail below, about 1000'. We made camp at 4pm at the head of a clyclopean stair which leads up to Garnet Lake turnoff pt. Rain continued til late at night. Aug 16 - We packed up and left about 12 A.M., returning to Agnew Meadow because of the terrible weather. After driving over to Devils Postpile we went to Lunely Lake which is about 9

En cuanto a lo que hace de su trabajo semanal y lo que él le prometió, y el resto de la familia están bien con su situación actual, aunque poco para disfrutar sus días en libertad, hasta este 19 diciembre próximo año, aunque siempre pensará, mejor no decirle todo. Eso sería genial. También bueno: "Mira que si vuelves ahora, no te vas a quedar sin nada." Y eso sí, porque sabes bien cuál es el sitio donde puedes estar seguro de que nadie te va a tocar. "Pensé que estaba en otro lugar, pero no." "Estoy aquí," dijo él con voz tranquila, yo le sonreí, y él me miró a los ojos, con una sonrisa que lo hacía parecer más joven que sus cincuenta años reales. "¿Qué tal? ¿Todo bien?" "Sí, todo perfecto. Y tú? ¿Cómo estás? Me siento muy bien. Gracias por preguntar. Y no olvides llamar a tu mamá antes de salir.

Aug 16 beyond Lee Vining. Here we camped, about 3 miles above the lake. Many dead trees are in this area which appears to have been flooded during this uncommonly wet summer. Possibly other factors have led to the flooding of certain spots but most likely this is the wettest summer here in many years. Aug 17 We get up and attempt a hike to Saddlebag Lakes, but are turned back because of heavy rain - sleet. We had gone 3 miles and had just about reached Lundy Pass. We saw several fliders on the way up this canyon. Rain continued til late at night. Aug 18 - We get up and drive a

Biel Arvey Journal 1965 Sept. Trip to Farallon Islands via USCGC Willow from Yerba Buena Island, at 8 AM. Day overcast, slight NW breeze, Temp in 60's° In S.F. bay Western and Ring Bill gulls seen at mornings and further out we pick up elegant or royal terns also. At first I thought these to be all Royals because of bill shortness, thickness and general size but now am undecided because of the range of variation seen of these characters. In the middle of the bay these terns are quite prevalent, sometimes fly in front of ship as if to see what is "scared up" by the bow. Once I observed a Herman's gull giving chase to one which was carrying a fish in bill, and was accompanied by another tern. The terns stayed together as the gulls chased after them, and called loudly, as did the gull. No actual aggressive contact was seen however. Often I saw a loose group of 3 or 4 terns flying over the same area, probably pursuing the same school of fish. In the vicinity of the Golden Gate Bridge, where a broad zone of turbulence is present, many terns of these species feeds at the interface. The turbulence is due to tidal action I presume, and cause a surface rippling much like the rapids in a stream, and I sure that there is a good current running here. Herman gull are seen very frequently and almost any dark bird skirting on the surface proves to be this species.

1965 Bill Arvey Journal Sept 8 Many times I see them in the water beside pelicans, and have seen them dive with them, coming down beside a pelican which has just dove for food, waiting for scraps or harassing -- suppose. a willet's seen flying by headed for the inner parts of the bay, and 2 kingfishers are seen flying by the ship. The water is very calm till we pass through the gate but even then the ship only rocks slightly. 9:15 - a long line of Cormorants (D.C.S?) is spotted on S.F. side, about 1/2 mile away flying out. Position is close to opposite the golden gate headland, the last point of land along the coast. The line appears to be over a mile long, sometimes of 3 or 4 abreast, at others of only a single line but the whole formation is that of a line. There must be over a thousand individuals in the group. The ones in front tend down, and those following always go a little beyond before alighting. They are accompanied and flanked by unknown gulls. 9:30-11:15 Seagull shearwaters are beginning to be seen, by 11:15 are going by very regularly, and can have 50 or so in sight at all times. Some are seen resting on the water also. Now we are out of sight of land and still a few Cormorants can be seen, though few, and always alone. Since we passed the large Cormorant flight, more have been seen in ones, twos or groups on the water.

Bill Arvey Journal 1965 Sept 8 at first I mistook them for loons, but they didn't really look like loons. While we pumped gas and water into another vessel two land birds, one a nondescript type of thrush, grouse, or vireo, flew round and round the ship looking for a place to land. It lit momentarily on some hangers, but cannot decide what it is. Another, a sparrow possibly while crowed did likewise but was so exhausted that it even plopped down amidst some moving men below. It then scrambled off again. We put ashore at the Farallones in a landing boat and were hoisted up in a crane from this. Then I set out to see what is here. The whole island is just a big rock pile of granite, which has decomposed in some places to form a thin soil, which along with its grime has been used by rabbits and mice as burrows. The whole place has the aspect of a breeding ground. The ground and rocks are white washed, and feathers are everywhere, as well as the flies which gather over everything. The lighthouse is on the main rock, its highest point on the island. The most prominent feature of its avifauna are the ever-present Western Gulls, in all plumages. Many are seen dead, laying about in all stages of decomposition. The next major aspect is the cormorant population. All of rocks, all of water overlooks have their black bodies huddled on them.

1965 Bied Arwey Journal Seals, Saa lions, cormorants. Cormorants Low wave washed rocks-shore birds, gull Pelicans- Puffins (earlier) Cormoranto nesting grounds Cormorants Light house Tree Landing Cove cormorants In my brief check, Brandts seem to greatly outnumber pelagics here, which was verified by Rich Tenaza later, who also told me that about 50 nests were built this year by Double Crests (Farallon Cormorant). He said also that Brandts Cormorants still had some nests on another part of the Island, and I found 2 nests with young brandts. One had a nestling, single, and was 4-1/2 grown, still had pinfeathers for primaries. As I peered over a nearby outcrop, about 75 Cormorants including the parents of these, made a mad dash for the water. However, instead of flying directly to the water from where they stood, they all ran to the ledge above and jumped in in waves, the ones at the rear waiting for the ones in front to leap. Another nest had 2 nestlings which I examined). One was slightly larger than the otherone and neither seemed startled at all by my approach if I have interpreted their gestures correctly. In any case they made no movements of panic, or escape. As I approached this larger nestling he became excited, and jolted off in

Bill Arvey Journal 1965 Sept 8 my direction with a half open bill, fluttering his gular area all the while. His nest mate lay there languidly, flies crawling across his open eyes ever. I am amazed at the size of even this rattling's pouch, when he opened it, it seemed as if there were no head, only gullet, and I could almost see into its crop. The mouth lining had a bluish cast, albeit not a deep coloring. In this area there were many abandoned nest sites, gray and brown colored. Many caves or vents in the rock are present here and in one on the North side, near this nesting spot was a wandering raven poking around. He seemed rather confused as he pecked at flies, and would stand with cocked head looking around for moments at a time. Other small birds such as Wilson Warblers were seen foraging around the rocks in such a manner. After an hour and 1/2 approximately we were told to get aboard. Going back I met Rich Tenaga of S.F. State and Jim Vetch of Loma Linda U. Rich had spent all summer, off and on working on Cormorants, Jim had spent his entire time working with early petrel breeding biology. On the way in we watched birds, the weather was beautiful. We ran into an immense number of Sooty Shearwaters as we passed through Golden Gate...

1965 Bill Arvey Journal Sept 12 Birding trip to Pt. Reyes Peninsula. Leave Berkeley at 6:45 w/ Nick Verbeek, Marty, and my myself, Stop first along some tidal sloughs at Tomales, and see some Pie billed Grebes, a kingfisher, pintail, egret. The day is overcast so far but mild, with little breeze. We take the road all the way out to the point, stopping at the cypress grove to see Wilson's warblers, Empidonax, Wood pewee, blackbirds, Calif Quail, Purple finches. At the point we discover that we cannot enter the final mile which leads to the lighthouse. We scare up a swarmson through here, white crowns, savannahs, song sparrows. Looking down to the water, Sea lions are seen on the rocks, Ringbale gulls, Cormorants, no Murres seen. We drive back and then go out to Abbotts Lagoon. Finger of Lagoon, point of water influx at high tide. Sandy beach Sand dunes Grassy areas R.C.A. France Abbott's Lagoon cliff headland road

1965 Bird Arvey Journal Sept 12. We walk along the south shore at about the point where the sand gives over to the procurrent vegetation. The sun comes out and the day becomes quite warm. Thousands of Western and Least Sandpipers are seen in their usual feeding flocks at the waters edge. No attempt is made to estimate total numbers, or the ratios of Western to Leasts. I have seen no difference other than the morphological criteria for distinguishing these two sandpipers, probably due to inextensive observation. Large, concentrated flocks of these are seen over in the grass running as we approach. They all face into the wind, and many preen. At our approach, many leave, others show nervousness, and most go into a huge stretch of wing and leg as we come nearer, in preparation for flight. This stretch consists of raising up both wings straight overhead, then straight out with first one leg then the other. Pectoral Sandpipers are observed again, as we saw them last week. These are w/yellowlegs, obviously bigger Sandpipers; seen in groups of 2 or maybe 3 and spend more time on the grassy areas away from the water line, although one was seen to go to the water edge and poke around briefly. Also we have identified a Bairds Sandpiper, and Nick believes that their chatter song is distinctive and remembers it from previous studies. Bairds is slightly larger than Westerns, has black legs, scaled back, a fluffy, black streaked breast, and also spends more time away

1945 Bill Arvey Journal Sept 12 from the water, is seen running around the sand 10 yards or more from its edge. Northern Phalaropes are seen both in the water a foot or so from the edge and on the bank catching flies in its typical foraging behavior, running in spurts with neck outstretched. Very often seen near small puddles. A greater yellowlegs is seen in the water also. This bird is smaller than the willet, but ducks its head similarly sometimes, has a characteristic 3 note call, is not very spooky about our presence. 5 white pelicans come over the lagoon, and the brown is commonly seen. One cormorant (sp?) is seen out on its bay fishing. Some ruddy ducks in very drab plummage are seen and some [illegible] scoters. One great blue heron's here. A marsh hawk flies in low and all the small shore birds scatter. He then catches a thrush, sails up and away. Semipalmated plovers are very abundant here, seen most frequently, foraging a yard or so away from the water. Marbled godwit is common both at the water and in the grass, and one golden plover is seen among them. Only 1 or 2 willets are seen. Black bellied plover are not too common today, we see less than 5.

Bill Arvey Journal 1965 Sept 19, 1965 Suisun Bay Marsh, on State Hwy 21, ~ 5 mi E. of Benicia Calif. A right turn is taken, going Toward Sacramento, on a small road leading to a naval fleet post. About 100 yds from its intersection, this small road opens up into parking lot and turn around area. Sitting on a fence post here was a Loggerhead Shrike, and two Rosy Finches. As we approached the fence the shrike flew off, and a Lark Bunting ?, jumped up onto the wire. Calamospiza melanocorys. Both Nick Verbeck and I verified the sighting. Field marks- A buff-white

Bill Arvey Journal w Larry Wolf. Oct 6, 1965 - Leave San Fran from Buena Is. on U.S.C.G Red Birch at 8:00 A.M. Day clear, temp warm, no breeze yet. Little Bird life beside a few W & Calif gulls. A few more gulls seen in the Bay, I Tern, Royal (?) went across the Bay, 1 brn. Pelican spotted near Treasure Island. Walter Baldwin - Light Ship. - San Francisco. Only 1 Tern spotted on way out to Golden Gate - Royal. This ship is smaller than the willow and designed differently. We met the Captain in the Officer's mess, he is very nice person, explained about the trip etc. Tells us that the Red Birch is a new ship, recently sailed around from Maryland. Passing thru the gate the wind picks up, we can see a broken up fog bank a few miles offshore. At this point, near the bridge, we see the usual turbulent zone, with many gulls here, Mostly Heerman's and Calif - Ring Bills. Water gets choppy right out beyond the bridge - Captain says because of waves moving in and tide moving out. A few Cormorants can be seen flying into the Bay in groups of 5 - 15 - 25 or so. No huge flocks are seen like I did last time, and the coastline is being more strongly swept by waves today. The Heerman gulls drop out of the picture pretty well after we pass the Outer gate. Ring bills & or Calif. gulls seem to follow the ship mostly. Murres are seen in the open water, are quite numerous most of the way to the island. The majority are in Winter plumage, but some have all dark brown heads, maybe young.

1965 Bills Arvey Journal Oct 6 Murres almost always dive curway from or gather on the surface away from the approaching boat. Only on a couple of occasions did one take wing. The swell and the wind are hitting the boat from the Northwest while the boat is on a Westerly course. This causes a tremendous amount of rolling since the sea is rather high. Sooty Shearwaters are seen occasionally, and also pink footed Shearwaters which have white under parts. These are at least as numerous as the Sooty now. Possibly Stender bills or New Zealand Shearwaters are here but can't be positively identified by us. About 3 Fulmars are seen 2 light and 1 dark. Haven't gotten a real close look but see birds flying like shearwaters and gulls combined, Actually they are like a slower, larger, stubbier shearwater in flight. They seem to flap more often in rather Gull-like beats. Two very large Gull like birds, dark but wr white patches in the wings are seen from a distance. These we take to be Skuas, but haven't seen them close yet. At the Farallones we have a lot of calm on the leeward side of the Island, where the boat comes out and picks up men & supplies. Captain decides not to let us go ashore because its too rough and besides, Larry is a wee Seasick so we don't go ashore. We turn back soon and the trip back is smoother because we ride over the swells. In the bay again at 330, Elegant tern, several Royals. About 2 miles N of the Oakland Bay bridge I spotted a parasitic Jaeger down in the water. Larry sees another. They pick up and fly off the bow and alight on [illegible]

1965 Bill Arney Journal Oct 6 the water and commence bathing. We can see no special central tail feather on these. They are both light breasted and have buffy-dark chest bands coming around the front. Bathing is very exaggerated in this bird, he lifts his head way out of the water, then plunges it down hard. Dock at 5 PM.

1965 Bill Arvey Journal Oct 25 - Sunday - Marin Co., RCA transmitting station at Point Reyes. Day very warm and bright. As 6 of us walk back through the cypress grove, which lines the dirt road on both sides, [illegible] to the main road. We stop to watch a flock of juncos. They are on the ground feeding at the edge of the roadway. Out of this flock of Junco oreganus are observed 2 individuals which are very much more grey than the others. The grayest one has a triangular rufous-chestnut patch on the back, set off from the gray of the sides and belly. A dark patch passes from the eye to the bill. The other junco is slightly less distinct, but still separable from the Oregon juncos. These two gray ones are agreed by the party, i.e. Steve McClean, B.D. Sage, James Lynch and myself to be Junco caniceps, the grey-headed junco, which thus constitutes an unusual record for this locality. The time is about 2 PM. As I go to the car for a collecting gun, the birds are scared off by a car and do not return.

Bill Amey Journal 1965 Nov. 18 Truro. Peter Ames & I start at 10AM for Dillon Beach in Marin Co. Day with scattered rain clouds. It has been raining regularly for about a week previously, this is about the clearest day in that amount of time. At Dillon Beach we have to cross the Lawson property down to a boat landing. At the landing we start down the beach towards Tomales Bay. Along here are seen large numbers of Snowy Plover running along the upper tide flats. A few of these are collected. On the water line many Sandpipers and Dunlin, and a few W. Sandpipers are seen. Godwits, Marbled [illegible] and Black bellied Plover are seen in bunches of a few individuals. In the grass behind the bay are hundreds of Crest and many more can be seen in the water. Scoters and Biddy ducks dabble offshore. Cormorants can be seen far out. Willets are seen.

1966 Bill Coney Journal Feb 2. San Francisco Co., Calif. Parking lot below toll plaza at Golden Gate Bridge. While waiting for Rick Tenaga & Count Commentos (Brandto probably) Counting only those entering the bay. From 8:50 to 9:00 AM 150 Cormorants counted. Meet Tenaga at 9AM. We go across the Bridge and stop at the turnout on the other side. Here we see 15-20 Pelagics roosting in an isolated rock just offshore. We also saw a large concentration of birds in the water just off the NW [illegible] Side of Angel Island. We then proceeded to Bodega. Just past the gate to the Marine lab we could see 12 red tails hovering over the meadowland S of the lab all in the air at once. The breeze was stiff. We then walked N of the Station along the rocky headland to where the cormorants were feeding last summer. Along the way we stopped to watch mixed flocks of Surfbirds and Blackturnstones. Estimate about 20-30. 3 Willots seen here also. Surfbirds have obvious yellow feet, breast is more speckled with gray than is the more uniform color of the turnstone breast. Turnstones have reddish legs, darker color, a white patch on the back beside just on the tail & wings, and the tail feathers are tipped with white. No interactions were noted between the two species, and they seemed to travel together. Would be interesting to study the foraging of the two. Surfbirds at least seem rather dove-like in their pedantic picking up & general body shape.

1965 Journal Bill Orway Feb 2 At the pelagic cormorant roosting site, we saw 4 pelagics roosting on the S. shoulder of the cavern like arrays. They flew off on our arrival and only one or 2 had white flank patches. White patches were first seen by me this year on Jan. 29 at Pt Lobos. Curiously the patch is not seen in any halfway stages on any individuals, but is developed when we've seen it. Why? No nest building has occurred here at all since last year and very few birds are present. They are perhaps fishing somewhere, but none can be seen as far out as my scope reaches. Possibly 5 cormorants can be seen offshore. On the whole headland, only about 10 cormorants are seen. Several Oyster catchers were seen, up to about 7 on this 1/2 mile of rocky shore. No evidence of pairing yet; 2,3, or 4 seem together, whistling if we approached too closely. No spotted sandpipers seen here. Nothing seen offshore but a few gulls. Wind not too strong here, but steady. The ocean however is quite calm even for this wind. No whitecaps or choppy swells. We left for Pt Reyes. Pt. Reyes - Looking straight behind lighthouse rocks we see several thousand Murres roosting on a rock, and only a few cormorants. We then walked down the hill on the N. side and looked at the water below. Here we saw 15-20 common (black) scoters. They have orange bills, completely black body. Females have ruddy duck face patterns.

(1966) Bill Corey Journal Feb-13 Monterey Peninsula - 2 mi N of Town (Monterey) Cormorant observations from w rocky point. Day clear, bright, warm. A flock of 12 cormorants is seen offshore about 150 yds to the E. They are fishing on the shore side of the kelp which begins at this point. Their fishing behavior is thus: All birds are oriented in one direction, parallel to the line of kelp. The flock is quite close together, only 3 or 4 feet between birds. Simultaneously (within 5 seconds) all the birds dive. 2 dives are counted at about 37 seconds each. All the birds reappear at the surface some 20-25 feet from where they began, still together, and still oriented the same way. Presumably this is a method to drive the fish before the flock. Once after several dives in one direction, the flock puts up from the water and flies 30-40 yards back along the line of kelp to a point from which they had presumably begun earlier. However diving in both directions along the kelp was seen. These are Brandt cormorants. rocks kelp flock

1966 Journal Bill Arvey April 5 San Diego Co. Calif. Blatiau and I started for Vallejo week at 4:15 AM from Mann Ranch near Oak Grove. Just past Warner Springs on a fence post we see a Golden Eagle. As we stopped to watch he flew off across a wide grass plain. This bird showed a white subterminal patch in the tail, which marks immature birds. Otherwise it was all dark brown in color, with a massive blue-grey bill. The day was calm but he had no difficulty taking wing, and was soon out of sight on the rolling grassland. In this field also we saw many horned larks while driving along the highway and there must be a very large breeding population of these birds here. We continued toward Barney Springs. We reached there at about 7:30 AM - air was about 75°C, cool for this spot. The desert is unusually lush this year here, all the annuals are blooming, and as well so most of the perennials. Ocatillos was in full swing as well as barrel cactuses and prickly pears. We stopped in Barney Springs near the resort which had large groves of trees around and watched birds here. Many house finches were seen. One or two Phainopepla's were observed here also, appear to be quite common. Mourning doves were abundant and we heard them cooing often. Mockingbirds were seen and heard. Saw two Gambel Quail walking around in thickets and feeding. Saw one Kingbird at the top of a tree - and White Crowned Sparrows were common. Saw a desert [illegible] take off.

1946 Bill Arway - Journal April 5 One hummer was seen well enough to identify it as an Anna's, sat on a wire, then on an exposed twig of mesquite, probably ~ migrant. We continued on after this short stop to the SW on County Hwy 52 toward State Hwy 78 a th west. On the way out of the valley we stopped to check out San Felipe Creek which runs into Bovego. The canyon sides are filled with large boulders here and we saw a rock wren singing on one. Climbed down to the creek to look around. The water ran clear and cold and had algae and other aquatic plants, with a slight amount of peripheral bog formation around. Hyla regilla were caught from the stream, and thousands of small tadpoles were seen at the stream edges hidden in the submerged grass or algae. A large frog was seen but not identified. We saw a female hummer - sp? catching insects here. We saw her for about 20 minute and all during this time she foraged for the small flying insects which swarmed around over the water at about 15' up. House finches were common here. The hillside above above the stream was covered with rocks and typical desert vegetation, many yuccas, cacti. etc. 2 desert Sparrows came down to the water while we were here from this hillside. She came down and flew over the water surface either as if wanting to bathe, or trying to catch insects near its surface. Continuing on toward Vallecito we saw in a wide

1944 Journal Bill Harvey April 5 rocking, sagelush valley a buteo which was very light in primaries, body s and tail, but with some dark markings here also. This we called a rough-legged hawke. It was soon lost to view. At Palm Oasis in in Valleides the temperature was very warm, but there is a permanent water supply here and many birds. Phainopepla's are most abundant here, flying out to catch insects and back again. The sexes are colored similarly, but the ♀ is duller black, while the ♂ is glossy black, both show crests. The only song heard was sort of dungbird like clucking and whistling. The white in its wings is a very obvious marking in these, reminiscent of its mocking-bird pattern and perhaps performs the same function (startles insects?). We went fossil hunting with the LACM museum party up Tapiado wash, not much found but > 90°F in shade temperatures. Even the dry desert washes had vegetation. Ted Downs says it's a good, wet year.

Journal Biel Arvey San Diego Co., Mann Ranch. Starting from the Mann ranch, I walked south to where the fire break runs down to the valley. Walked up fire break for about 2 mi seeing and hearing Black Chinned Sparrows, Calif Thrasher, Bush Titie, Scrub Jays, 3 ravens, Bewicks orren. The fire break runs into a forest service road about 1 miles up, which goes to Mt. Palomar and to Oak Grove. I go towards Mt Palomar. The day is extremely hot and dry, vegetation is all scrub, but with patches of Pines (digger) in some of the deeper swales. Gradual work into some Manganita as I go higher, and further up, some Incense cedar, Blue Oaks (mostly dead) and big cone sprue(?). As I near the Palomar look out I see 2 Swifts overhead, which are long and dark, probably Black Swifts which may be unusual here. There are two spots for water on the way up, one about 4 miles down from Lookout, another 1 mile. At the lookout there is a 100 foot tower, and a residence, both closed. About 1 mile down the ridge is Palomar Obsv.

Bied Arvey Journal 1966 June 19 Sunday June 19 - Farallon Island light house. I am observing the colony on the East Side of South Farallon from North Landing to Shubrick pt. [illegible] The day started [illegible] after a night of 30+ knot winds at 12:55 AM - sky is clear, can see Tamalpais, but wind still about 25 knots. T° about 60°F. In the Tower colony of Brandts Cormorants I can estimate the number pairs by assuming the area of nesting is roughly rectangular and counting the number of nests in the width and in the length by multiplication. I estimate 80x30 and 10x20 which equals about 2600 nests just on the town Island colony. Many murres can be seen in the Cormorant colony. Don't know what business they have here. Some seem localized around some of the more jumbled boulders and are probably incubating eggs here. Have not been able to spot any large fishing flocks near the island today - yesterday at about 4 PM saw one about 1/2 mile SE of the East landing.

1964 Bic Arvey Journal June 17, '64 At about 6:30 to 7 PM we walked down near the rain catch, towards East Landing. Here is a "bachelor club" of maybe 2000 gulls.

1966 Bill Arvey Journal June 20 Monday Farallon Island. Observations on about 10 pelagic C. neats in a small rocky cove between Avalon & Breaker coves. We have draped a tarp over the rock wall, and set up a tripod as a center pole to make a blind. We are about 50 feet from the cliff face where the cormorants are nesting. diagram. all neats seem to be in incubation stage. Richard Tenaga banded several pelagic cormorants on the island in summer of 1965. There is one banded bird in this group, and is sitting on the exact same nest as last year. Both members of its pair were banded. Bands colored over pink on right leg.

June 21 At 11 AM went to the rock piles where some witch studied petrels. He had several nest sites marked, all in rock piles. I looked in many of these spots and found a large proportion of the marked sites occupied with ashy petrels. Two had bands (may have been others too) which probably indicates that the petrels return to nest in the same burrows from year to year. All the observed birds except one were incubating single eggs, which were beige color, all the same, and very rounded at both ends. The birds showed fright when I pecked in the crevices and cropt into the furthermost crevices. Two young Cassin auklets were found during this trip. Both were adult size and had adult feathers, but also had the remains of fluffy down on the back and breast. The east side of S. Farallon Is. seems to be an especially suitable place for auklet burrows because the ground is covered with the holes.

1966 Bird Survey Journal June 23 Farallon I. Light house. 8:00 AM, clear, ocean calm, slight N wind blowing, visibility 25 miles. Cormorant activity seems relatively slight in all colonies. So far have seen very few birds fishing, and no concentrations have been seen. Very few cormorants perched on Seal Island, but many Murres at its east end of its rock. Lewerpt. colony - Many nests have 2 attendant cormorants present. Life is low now at 8:30 AM. 8:40 AM - Have just spotted the main fishing area for this morning. It is about 1 Mile East of the Island generally. Small groups of Cormorants were traced as they left this vicinity for the islands. Can see small groups fishing out there. Murre groups seem to be without guil and several are seen. One tightly clustered pack of cormorants and guil is seen. No other dense concentrations are seen however. 850 - have just discovered where the main fishing activity is this morning. It is about 1/2 mile due north, in a straight line between the Light house and North Farallon I.

1966 Bill Arvey Journal June 23. A very large dense flock of Cormorants is out, the water is actually disturbed so much by their activity that one can notice their presence without glasses just by the turbid condition of the water there. Cormorants far outnumber gulls in this flock. Gull activity seems very slight around the flock. 8:55 It seems that a substantial part of the flock split off and started fishing in another direction. They flew off about 50 feet then put down again. 9:00 AM After watching the flock for awhile it seems to be true that there is a definite entrance and exit to the flock. Entering birds always seem to go to the east end of the flock. The birds leaving do so from the west end, or part closest to the island. The flock seems to have drifted some 100 +/- yards to the SE since first observed and are now some 2005 yards V of Arch Rock. 9:15- Now many birds from the Tower Pt colony are traveling out to this flock. Have seen some groups of about 10 birds moving out thru the gap between Arch Rock and Sugarloaf and then on out to the flock. Many cormorants are in Fisherman Bay The floc is definitely moving East x South. It is now 150 yds off Arch Rock, the head of our flock is between Arch and Sugar Loaf.

1960 Bird Arvey Journal June 23 Cant tell whether the entrance-exit differences are due to the fact that entering birds enter at the moving head of the flock or not. Maybe all birds joining the flock go to its head, and gradually move toward its tail and then take off. Perhaps wind direction influences this also. 9:15 - Noticeable activity at the head of the flock; they are getting up and flying back to positions further W in the flock. Perhaps the fish changed direction? Exceptions occurred to the entrance exit hypotheses; birds were getting up as others were putting down at the head of the flock. 9:20 - The main flock appears to be behind Sugarloaf now, but a moderate number has been isolated in Fishermans bay. Most of the arrivals are going to the Sugarloaf portion. Just saw a V shaped cormorant flock of 25-30 birds heading around Sugarloaf from Fishermans bay, then putting down at the extreme W. end of the flock. 9:40 Direction change again. Many birds up from the Sugarloaf flock moving NW about 100 yards

1944 June 23 Biel Arwey Journal - most follows and its flock is reforming out there. My impression is that the flock is nowhere as large as when first noticed. The flock itself has no particular shape to it, and is definitely not strung out in a front moving in one direction. 9:50 flock is moving back in its direction from which it came. 9:55 - a very active flock is spotted 1/2 SE of East landing. as I watch I can see probably over 1000 birds, mostly from West end colonies, moving out to it. It has a moderate number of very active birds now and is moving due W. much movement within the flock, and probably [illegible] over 100 arriving per minute. Can watch long streams moving down the W side of the island & past seal rock. Birds can be seen headed out to them from both sides of the Island. 10:10 - flock is very active now. Can almost be visibly seen moving en masse to the west can be seen with the naked eye. The front is moving very fast. Shape: E -> W wind There are thousands of birds in this flock and it is extremely dense. Seems to be general one way entrance and exit. Birds are leaving from the W side, Enters from the E side some after traveling the whole length of the flock.

(1960 Bill Arney Journal June 23 10:20 There now appear to be as many departures as arrivals. Have counted approx 200 arrivals/minute. At 10:30 - a fishing boat approaches the flock from the East. The birds put up gradually. At 10:30 I count 400/min passing seal rocks. Some of the flock seems to flee toward this island but others are moving out ahead of the boats so the flock has not completely disintegrated. The head of the flock is moving very rapidly now to the W. keeping 300 yds ahead of the boats. Large streams of birds are still going out but the flock is not as large as formerly. Seems to be a rolling movement now. [Signature] The flock has now turned its front Northward, probably in response to this boat.

1966 Bico Avey Journal June 24 - Rich Tenaga & I went up to the W. side of Shultrucks to a Munro group of about 14, fewer eggs. 2 chicks had hatched recently. They flew off at our close approach. Rich replaced 2 normal eggs with blown, brightly colored, (red, white). The birds circled as we did this. We left. Time 11 AM,

1966 Bill Arvey - Journal July 16 - Got up at 3:30 AM in Orinda, ate, then started to Sagen Creek, Nevada Co., Calif. Arrived at 7:30 AM. Stopped to talk to Dr. Leopold who had just gotten up, at his tent frame. The purpose of the trip is to try to determine whether or not Vaux Swifts are nesting in the Sagen Creek area. Gene Christensen shot about 4 in June and found enlarged gonads, ruptured follicles, enlarged salivaryp which is evidence that breeding does occur here, but definite data should be attained. Nothing was flying over Kilu meadow, so James Lynch and I hike up the stream towards Carpenter Ridge for a mile or two. Above Kilu meadow are some aspens and alders growing along the creek. Beaver work continues as far up as we went. At one spot, amidst a streamside thicket of alder, aspen, fir, and pines we squeaked in its following, 2 MacIllivray Warblers, 2 Wilson warblers, a yellow warbler, 2 Nashville warblers and 2 Humit warblers. No young were noticed among them. Others such as junco's all seemed to have fledged, or near fledged young with them. 3 groups of Mountain quail were seen up farther in Brush - Pine hillside. One group had young flightless chicks which became separate from the parents. We captured one such by

1966 July Biel Away Journal running him down, but he escaped while we at lunch. The young chicks are remarkably well camouflaged and use this to good advantage by hiding. An Empidonax was found sitting on a nest and one egg at Kiln Meadow. It was situated about 1 foot over the water in some dry willow branches. The nest contains some human artefact such as bits of paper, cloth, and thread.

Bill Avey - Journal Sept 24. Labor day wk end. Bryant property in Trinity Wilderness area, Trinity Co Calif. - Approx 15 miles SW of Callahan Calif. Approx 6300 feet +/-500 feet. The area is on a S facing slope which falls into Jangle Blue Canyon. The Slope is about 20°. Small creek fall through gorges from Mosquito Lake, Marshlakes, etc to Jangle Blue Canyon. The area is forested in Cedar, Yellow, Lodgepole Sugar, and White Pines, Douglas fir further down, and white fir. It appears to have been logged once leaving large Cedars, but some very large yellow and Sugar pines remains. In the clearing is much huckleberry oak some Manzanita. We went out hunting at about 8:30 AM, collected, 1 creeper, 2 hermit warblers, 1 dusky grouse, and 1 junco. We have seen in this area Nashville warblers, Audubon's warbler, Black throated grey, flickers, Hairy woodpige, white headed WPs, green tailed towhees. Went up to Mosquito lake 4:30 PM. Jim shot 2 fox sparrows, 1 junco? imm., 2 warblers, - As I climbed rocky Mt'n beyond the lake saw rock arena, 1 Marsh-hawk flying very high, 1 redtail

Monday, September 12, 1966 Jim Lynch, Jim and Barrie Blattau, Marty, Catherine Abbotts Lagoon in Sonoma Co.: flushed up an owl by the outside gate, the size of a burrowing owl; it flew off about 100 yds. to the south, lit down again in tall lupin where we couldn't see it; we flushed it up again, it flew and lit again. Fairly sure it was a burrowing owl, too big for a screech owl, too small for anything like a spotted owl. It was brownish. Although we didn't see it very plainly, we assume that's what it was. We came back to the gate and there were pellets by the fence- post that had lots of insect exoskeletons around that makes it look as if that bird was using the fencepost as a perch and feeding there. There are thousands of grasshoppers around; the vegetation is quite dry now; also yellowjackets; the fern tips are all dried up; the lupin is fairly dry and low, etc. Assume he was eating the grasshoppers. Also there was a dead Savannah Sparrow under a log there among other things. The head was cut off, looked like the owl had killed the bird and stored it under there temporarily. Under some of the logs alligator lizards were found; Jim Lynch collected about 5 of them. At Lagoon itself: bird life doesn't look too abundant, not like last year. But there are some ducks on the east side at least, and on the west side there are some ducks and probably some gulls roosting there. We've seen numerous avocets already on this one side, along with some drab looking ducks which we haven't yet identi- fied. We'll walk around to see. We've seen some godwits and possibly curlew around there. Out over the Lagoon itself we saw a falcon-sized bird; it was flying up and down, down near the water and back up in sort of a rolling; reminded me of a

Marsh Hawk, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Marsh Hawk since there was no white on the upper part of the tail. It may have been a Peregrine Falcon. Also a large raptor was seen on the west side of the Lagoon, way over on the other side, low over the sand dunes; it was too big for a red tail, didn't fly like a vulture and we assume it was probably a Golden Eagle. We'll check that out too--hope! Not many ducks down in the water, cormorants or anything like last year. There's some foam washed up on the shore. No phalaropes yet. See some small Ranunculus (?) that are still flowering down by the shore of the Lagoon. A wild strawberry? with a yellow flower on it. Saw a purple clover also flowering. A few scattered poppies that still have flowers. Gentle wind from SW; sky almost perfectly blue; warm. Marbled Godwit on the shore, flew east, tacking with the wind across to the other shore. A couple of ducks flew out which may be pintails, a white trailing edge on the wing, very drab looking; males are either in eclipse or they're not here. A couple grebes far out, unable to identify (Horned or eared) Also what looks like a California Gull. 11 avocets along the shore, probably con- servative, flew up and off. 3 Swallows buzzing over the water. Jim saw a Sparrow Hawk above a bluff about 50 yds. from the water. Several godwits on the other side. Horrible green sludge on this drainage pond from the farm adjacent to the Lagoon, unable to identify, smells bad, green-blue, thick. A board thrown on it won't go beneath the scum. A flock of 8 ducks flew out over the Lagoon, look like pintails but they're all the same color, very plain. About 10 "peep" on a side pond off the Lagoon, feeding around

fence here down near the water for quite a ways. On the other side it appears there's no real good shore bird habitat because the rocks come right down. A small covey of ruddy ducks offshore about 50 yards. A Black Phoebe about 25 yds. from the shore on a big log. Along east side along the fence there are some areas where the grass comes down, cow pies all over it. No birds where rocks go to shore, no foam here, looks like waves are being blown to the west side almost com- pletely by the wind. A black turnstone by the shoulder, standing on one leg; legs are dark, not real pink like the Ruddy's. There seem to be lots of Ruddy's out in the middle. Above the Lagoon, a Savannah Sparrow and a Song Sparrow. Vegetation is long grass, low baccharis, ferns, low blackberry, and other dried up plants, a flowering composite, like a dandelion, saw 2 with in them. The wind kicked up a little, can see definite parallel wind lines all the way across the Lagoon and whitecaps. Baccharis is flowering. All the plants aren't flowering. On cliff above the water almost to the west end looking across on the sandy shore, there were alot of pintails, a couple widgeon in the water, 1 ruddy duck up on the shore, real nice cinnamon red color. There are some avocets on this end too, 1 or 2. Some other small shore birds, can't identify, probably willets and godwits. 5 Brown Pelicans soaring over the middle. Around the cliff at the far western point, there's another lagoon that almost connects with it off to the east and in the far distance a farm house. I think I've seen this from the road. A little trickle of water runs from the upper to the lower one, separated

by about 50 yds., never noticed it before, would be a good place to come later, not as many birds around as on the other one. A beautiful sanddune on the seaward slope above it. On top of the sand dune, about 100-150 ft. tall, there are several violet- green swallows sunning themselves, flying around and landing in the sun. Fantastically nice dune here with fine, sorted sand, wind marks and ripples, almost no footprints. Alot of things still flowering up on the sand. Kildeer flew away. About 25 birds on a sand spit, mostly godwits, 2 avocets, dowitchers, willet, kildeers joined them, 2 more avocets. Warm even thought it's breezy, can see heat waves rising from the sand. Near the tide channel on west side of Lagoon, 1 sanderling in the company of a willet. A couple of pelicans (brown) from the seaside on to the Lagoon side, gliding about 30 ft. up over the water. A raft of maybe 30 gulls about 50 yds. offshore. A Snowy Plover flew down to the lagoon shore. It seems that most everything is here except phalaropes but not in very big numbers like they were last year. The raft appears to be Heermann's gulls, maybe immatures, too; seem to be gulls for a long ways out, surely over 100, very tight raft. 100 yds downshore from the tidal wash is a tight pack of gulls, maybe 100, Westerns and Heermann's. Shearwaters off- shore, 4 pelicans flew by. Beautiful day, a few high clouds to the north. Surf is choppy, whitecaps. Can see Pt. Reyes to the left. Not many storms recently, not much debris washed up on the beach. Back in the Lagoon 2 Black Brants sitting on a sandspit with a couple avocets and beyond a raft of many coots. Black-bellied (?)

Lagoon is quite full, duck blinds are almost under water. A kingfisher dove in the water when we first stepped out of the car, caught a fish. A Marsh Hawk about 300 yds. towards the ranch from the car, maybe that's what we tought was an eagle. Flying low, typical Marsh Hawk, female. Back at the car at 2:45. White-tailed kite near outer gate, flying 50' up or so. First one I've seen out here. RCA cypress grove: flushed up 2 barn owls, forced them towards the end of the grove, caught up with them, flushed them out in the open, they flew back towards the road head. One appeared alot smaller than the other. Also saw Black Phoebe and Loggerhead Shrike. Sooner Bay: Great Blue Heron, some more avocets and peeps. Not a very high density of birds. Tide flats are exposed now,

Monterey Bay, Calif. Bief Ansey, Journal Oct. 23, 1966 October 23, 1966. Monterey harbor on board the Tage at approximately 9 a.m. Beautiful warm day While here we've been watching such things as Brown Pelicans and Heermanns Gulls which are quite abundant, especially At the mooring we've actually seen Brandts Cormorants that are diving in the shallow marine area here. Elegant Terns are quite abundant also, as well as Western Gulls, some California Gulls, and Ring-billed Gulls that we saw on the beach side. On our way at 9:45, moving out of Monterey harbor. Hardly any swell, no chop at all, and we've been watching lots and lots of Heermanns Gulls, immatuers and adults. There were alot of sea lions in the breakwater as we left the harbor. We've seen a few cormorants, mostly Brandts from what I can tell. I can't see any orange patch that the double-crest would have. We can see fairly clearly that most of these are Brandts Cormorants. We're moving sort of SW out of the harbor. We saw a Heermanns Gull right in the harbor itself before we left the breakwater. It had white wing patches near the carpas-uhna flexure that made it look sort of like a scua. Ring-billed Gull just flew over. We're now moving by a big raft of 150-300 birds, gulls of all ages, first-year, second-year, and third-year. They

Monterey Bay, Calif. Bio Survey Journal seem to be mostly Ring-billed and California Gulls. Seagullness & dissipation prevailed for the remainder of this trip. Briefly however, the following were positively identified today. Fulmar - almost all in dark phase, Palefooted Shearwaters abundant 2 or 3? Pink-footed Shearwater abundant, Stoty shearwater very abundant, Black Petrel & Ashy petrels abundant; reports of Leach Petrel seen, not verified by me, Rhumaceros auklet, Cassin auklet both common, Murre less common; Bonaparte Gull uncommon, Herring & Western Gulls Common, Several Scaups seen, Pomarine & Parasitic for sure. Very few Cormorants seen all entire day. Red Phalaropes were very abundant. A Skua was seen from afar but fairly definitely. A good concentration of Leids was hit [illegible] towards the Santa Cruz side where good concentration of most species were seen.

Vista Pt., Marin Co., Calif. Bill Arvey Journal [From Tape] Nov. 4, 1966 Marin Co., Cahf. November 4, 1966. At Vista Pt. about 1/4 mi. north of Golden Gate Bridge. I'm looking down into the Bay at this bottleneck point to see what the cormorant activity might be today. The day is fairly cool, but the sun is out; a slight breeze is blowing. The air temperature is maybe 60°. A real thick haze is covering everything and one can't even see S.F. clearly. Looking at the rocks directly below the bridge here, where I saw so many cormorants last summer, I now see only a couple. And I don't see too many moving in and out of the Bay. Watching the tide-- it appears to be coming in right now. Don't know exactly what stage it's in but the surge seems to be coming in from the Gate. The military installation is right below us here. Went through Ft. Baker and am now below Vista Pt., found this rock with about 3 cormorants on it, possibly Pelagics but I can't tell for sure. Whitewash on the rock (or Cormorants?) now; probably some gulls nested out there. There's a definite surge into the Bay; I can see the water rushing in; quite rapid, too. About 300 yds. offshore is a flock of approximately 45 Western Grebes on the water, most of them swimming towards the Gate with their heads up. They don't seem to be diving and fishing. And on the small rock here that I mentioned before, I can

Below Vista Pt., Marin Co., Calif. Bill Arney Journal (2) see 3 cormorants; 2 of them appear to be Brandts but I'm not positive. They have a yellowish cast on the gular pouch which is probably a nonbreeding Brandts; doesn't appear to be bare like the Double Crest. And the one Pelagic on the rock can definitely be determined because of the more slender bill. A Brandts Cormorant also has put down about 50 yds. from the rock out in the channel. I think I'll start to count cormorants as I see them. 1:45: I've been here about 10 min. So in order to get a measure of activity I'm going to leave my (5 minutes) binoculars in one position for a no. of min. which I'll record and speak into the microphone as to how many cormorants are flying in which direction in the Bay. That way I hope to get a count, a rough measure of activity at this time. 1:50: during a 5 min. observation period saw 14 cormorants moving out of the Bay, all on the north side of the channel, in fact, fairly close to this side. Watched the carrier, Enterprise, move into the Bay. 2:10: another 5 min. observation: Out--5; In--2. There are now about 5 more cormorants on the main rock here, the very sheer part; they're Pelagic Cormorants, look very dull as if they're first year birds, but I can't tell. After rechecking

Belour vista Pt., Marin Co., Calif Bill Arvey Journal (3) Nov. 4, 1960 the group of 5 cormorants, I've come to the con- clusion that the ones below are Pelagics, but the other 3 are Brandts. A good way to tell the Pelagics is the shape of the bill. The bill on the Pelagic is narrow all the way into the head, doesn't get thicker as it gets near the base, whereas the Brandts seems to get thicker and change the shape of the head near the base. More cormorants have landed in the meantime, and there are at least 10-12 cormorants on this rock, and most of them are Brandts, I believe. One has a very nice yellow throat patch that appeared to be feathered, not naked, so that would indicate a Double Crested Corm. Just watched a cormorant leave the rock, fly out about 300 yds., put down in the water. Just made a beautiful landing up on the rock--he flew in, glided, put his legs down, sort of popped right on this narrow little ledge. A young Brandts. Haven't seen any wingspread yet, but it wouldn't surprise me if one of these would do it. The one that just landed is displaying and is displaying a beautiful blue patch which is unusual for this time of year. He did this just after he landed. Now the patch deflates. This shows that this display can take place any time of year but is more intense as the breeding season approaches. 2:30: another 5-min. count: Out--12; In--

Below Vista Pt., Marin Co., Calif. Bill Arney, Journal (4) Nov. 4, 1966 It's 2:58 and I just took a walk out to the point; It's called the Lime Point, a Coast Guard station. It looks like it's unmanned, but there are some people fishing off the point. Had to cross a chain-link fence to get out there. 3:00: another 5-min. count: Out--19; In--1. The current still seems to be moving in the Bay, but not quite as fast as it was at about 2:00. This means in relation to the tide schedule, I'm not sure, but I 'm sure the tide was moving in before at least when the water was moving in the Gate so rapidly. Cormorants[seem to]always bring things to the surface before they eat them; I watched one do that today. I'll time the cormorants' dives; there's a group close to the rock that I can watch fairly efficiently, ly, I think. There's a good character about the head shape that I mentioned before. I think it'll work between the Brandts and the Pelagic. I'm watching one on the surface which appears to be a Brandts, facing S.F., looking out towards the Gate, around, dove. He's right at the edge of the calm and the more rough water it seems like. Maybe it's an eddy from the side of the rock here. We'll see where he comes up. He dove towards the interior of the Bay, facing towards Berkeley. Possibly he'll be

(5) Nov.4,1966 Below Vista Pt., Marin Co., Calif. Bilo Arvey Journal be within range when he comes up so I can see how he's oriented. He's up after 46 seconds, facing Berkeley again; he appears not to have anything. He's looking around, around, still facing towards after 29 seconds on the surface. Berkeley, dove/ See several groups of cormorants flying out of the Bay now; perhaps there's a diurnal pattern of movements in and out of the Bay which I hope I can detect tonight. There's a Western Gull out there by another cormorant that just dove, looking for a handout no doubt. The cormorant I'm timing just came up after 55 seconds, nothing in his bill. He hadn't travelled more than 15 or 20 ft. from where he went down, so possibly it's a more vertical dive than a hori- zontal dive. I'm almost sure that's what it is. Dove again after 28 seconds on the surface. The cormorant that was around the gull came up and the gull hasn't made any move to travel overf to him, so apparently he's not actively mooching right now. See alot of cormorant activity out further now. Several groups of cormorants out there. I missed the end of the cormorants dive. I'll watch the cormorant near the gull; he's approximately 20 ft. from the gull; a Brandts. He's moving away from the gull, dove. He came up with a fish after 58 seconds. Just dove right in front of the gull after 10 seconds on the surface. He's up again.

(6) Nov. 4, 1966 Bellevista Pt., Marin Co., Calif. Bill Arney Journal after only 5 seconds. There are 2 gulls surrounding him out there, they're calling. Looks like he came up with a fish then dove right away. Possibly it was another cormorant. Now he's up again about 13 seconds after he surfaced the last time. He's between the 2 gulls again, nothing in his bill. He dove again between them after 7 sec. I don't know how to interpret that last thing. He's up after 27 sec. and down in 3 sec. I can't keep this up because I can't keep them straight. The grebes are still out there; they've been sitting the same way since I got here. There seems to be no diving activity at all among them. They're all resting, preening, looking around. There's a Pelagic out there now; maybe I can get some observations on him. He looks like he just came off of the rock into the water. He's swimming back towards the rock, paddling on the surface, out of sight. Some of the grebes are diving now; I can see them leaving the surface with a quick characteristic wing beat and they just disappear under the surface. like an Alcid I guess. 3:31 1/2: another count. The water still appears to be moving in the Golden Gate. I don't know how much this means; this could be just flowing over the denser more saline layers. Water may

A Brandts just dove right offshore here. They have a different type of dive when they're in close and not going to go deep; they just sort of push forward, instead of arching high out of the water and then straight down, they leave the surface on a shallow angle. There are some Bonaparte's Gulls out in front of this big rock; also A couple of Arctic Loons. The Bonaparte's Gulls seem to be following the Loons. They fly up off the water and then flew tbewhere the loons are when they come up. I've seen this 2 or 3 times now. The fog is rolling in now, seems to be coming in eight through the Gate. I can see it over the Golden Gate Bridge. It's not too thick but it's noticeable. A Black Phoebe just flew down to the pebbles near the shore then back up into the bushes. What is possibly a 1st year Pelagic hopped out of the water onto this smaller first rock here--there are 3 rocks, starting from me to the biggest one, there's a very small one that sticks out of the water about 4 ft., another medium sized one about 20 ft. high; then there's a giant one behind that

(8) Below Vista Pt., Marin Co., Calif. Bill Arvey Journal Nov.4, 1946 maybe 50 ft. high, it's more massive--anyway the small Pelagic just jumped out onto this small rock. It's probably a first year because it had alot of brown feathers on the breast and undersides whereas the back has some of the typical iridescent green feathers, too. The pupil of the eye seems to be darker than the Brandts which has a definite bluish tinge. Can't see any color on the throat. Alot of the feathers on the body seem definitely wet. Another 5-min. check: In--0; Out--14. The tide definitely seems to have lowered since I got here; some of the rocks are exposed down here that weren't before.(located between shore and the big rock) A cormorant went down right in front of me about 3 seconds ago; it should be easy to follow him.

(1) (from tape) November 6, 1966. 7:25 a.m. at Ft. Baker opposite the rock where I related the last commentary. I'm out here to see what the cormorant activity is in the morning. Haven't started looking yet; I see cormorants and [other]things out on the water. Very windy, not very cold, but it's rainy, actively raining. I can see across^the channel to San Francisco, so it's clear enough so that I should get some observations. A 5-minute count at 7:35 (in the same manner as on the last trip): Cormorants moving into the Bay--55; moving out of the Bay--5. As I was making that last count I saw 5 cormorants (below Vista Pt.) leave the area of this rock; I'm pretty sure they came off this rock. They flew about a quarter of the way out into the channel, then plopped down in sort of a loose group. Then I think 3 of them got up and left and may have accounted for 3 of the ones that went out as I counted. There seems to be [a]lot of activity this morning, much more than the other afternoon when I was here and it was better weather then, especially^more movements in the Bay from outside the Gate. When I arrived there were approximately 4 cormorants visable on the rock, now 1 or 2 visable. Most must be off fishing. 7:45--a huge scene of approximately 60 cormorants entering the Bay, but I didn't see them pass the

I saw them about a mile in going past Alcatraz Island from where I am Panhead In fact most of the cormorants I see coming in disappear in the direction of Angel Island. Watching a Smowy Egret. It's amazing. He's off- shore about 300 yds. and being chased by an immature, first-year gull. Now out over the water still being chased, can't tell where he's headed; the gull dropped out. He's going behind the rock, appeared at the other side keeping close to this shore. Must be having a terrible time fighting the wind. Now he's tacking out towards the middle, rounding the point out of view. See a pair of Western Grebes out about 300 yds. here. Doesn't compare to the big flock I saw here last time. Saw what I believe to be a loon also, but he dove, haven't seen him come up yet. At 7:57 a flock of 45 cormorants are moving out of the Bay in a long single line. Make that 3 Western Grebes out there. 8:00 another 5-min. observation: into the Bay--41; out of the Bay--33. During observation another Egret left the Bay being chased by gulls. Raining very steadily now and the wind is quite strong, in gusts. White caps out there; the water appears to be surging in the Bay. 8:17: very windy, very rainyng. The wind seems

(3) Nov.6,1966 to be blowing straight at me,ie. north; can't see S.F. anymore; whitecaps on the Bay and conditions may get too bad. 8:30: another count: In--9; out--9. A general observation I would make about cormorant movements now is that in the morning the cormorants tend to leave the roost to feed at probably the same time and for this reason form huge flocks. I've seen this on the way out to the Farallones and todayand in other places. But later in the day as they're coming in or going back out to feed for a second time, the flocks aren't so uniform, not so big, not so often. Probably this is why we get patchy observation times where I see very many goin[illegible] at one time o[illegible] out; so I see large flocks because it's early in the morning and they're on their way to their first feeding period. I noticed last time and now also that many of the cormorants are missing secondaries and are possibly molting at this time. Have to verify this on the skin collection. 8:57: about 100 yds. on the Bay side of the big rock here are a flock down in the water, appear to be upwards of 20 in a loose flock of Western Grebes. 8:58: an observation: In--5; Out--3.

I saw one flying in the direction of Tiburon just a second ago, but I don't see any large flock. I could miss them across there; it's awfully rough, so I'll just have to leave it at that. 10:00 on the lee side of Pt. Molate, the whaling station, looking out over the Bay.

It's a very misty morning; the mist has just lifted or is just lifting, but when I first got here, there was a heavy mist and I had to keep the windshield wipers going. I think it'll get better in a little while. 6:55: I've spent the last 1/2 hour driving around Ft. Cronkite and Ft. Barry on the other side where I was looking for a place to watch but didn't find any real good place although it looks promising over there. There aren't any off-limits places at all, so that I could probably work something out over there. I'm looking at this rock, several cormorants perched on it, looks like most of the activity hasn't started yet. I see 16 on the rock right now. A few cormorants are flying; maybe the activity has started in the Bay. There goes a fishing boat out. I think it'll be a pretty good day all in all. The tide looks pretty low right now because these rocks are exposed that I mentioned a couple times ago as being exposed only at low tide. Must be crab season because people are going out to the end of this pier over here with crab nets. 7:01: make a count: In--4; Out--0.

Biel Arvey Journal Ft. Baker, beneath Golden Gate Bridge Marin Co., Calif. (2) Nov.11,1966 Very slow; not much activity at all out here. Maybe the good number of birds that are left on the rocks over here are indicative of [illegible] the way tings are going in general for the cormorants now. It's low tide and they're not feeding. There are more cormorants on the rock now than at any time that I've been here. I was just watching 2 pairs of Pelagic Cormorants up on the rock; they're going through some courtship or some mutual display which I can't quite figure out. There's a sort of a bowing with the head; one member of one pair would do sort of a choke display. He would bow the head, raise the tail, and extend the neck, and open his mouth. What this means at this time of year I'm not sure. I don't know if it could be partly a sexual display or a strengthening the pair bond display. These 4 birds seems to be very close together, very intimately joined up here on the rock at least, so maybe it's just a manifestation of pair bond activity during the off season, or it could just be a low intensity sexual display. I haven't seen Pelagic displays before, but watching this the movements seem to be very much the same as Brandts Cormorants. For instance, the pulling of the neck and head back onto its back and thrusting forward seems to be a similar type of movement

Bill Arvey Journal Pt. Baker, beneath Golden Gate Bridge Marin Co., Calif. (3) Nov. 11, 1966 although of course one would have to know what the sequence is and so on before you could judge. There are several cormorants on the rock; I'll try to get a relative number of Brandts to Pelagics. I'm watching a Brandts Cormorant that flew up on top of one of the higher parts of the rock where there aren't any others and I'm watching his movements. He's picked up a whole beakful of grasses and lichen as if gathering nest material. Very strange; I wonder what he's going to do with it. He's still picking it up in his beak. Maybe this is one of the ones that was displaying down there, and if so he might bring it back. One of the pairs that I mentioned as being Pelagic that were displaying on the rock I now think are Brandts. I notice this fellow when he wants to go just a short distance on the rock, he'll take alternating short steps, but when he wants to go a little further and higher, he makes a hop thrusting with both legs. First he extended his neck, then he made a hop with both legs and flapped his wing once. Then he hopped a foot or 2. Off he flew, flying back in, gliding. He went around to the other side. I'll go around to see how many cormorants are on the other side of the rock. 7:30: just returned from the other side of the

Bird Survey Journal St. Baker, beneath Golden Gate Bridge Marin Co., Calif. (5) Nov.11,1964 very far he dipped into the water, went at an angle towards the water, swooped down and hit his tail on the water, then took off again, which is interesting because of the fairy tail that a cormorant had to get his tail wet before he could fly, and undoubtedly this is what he was doing, getting his tail wet. But of course all the latter-day scientists pooh-pooh ed this idea saying it's only because the cormorant has trouble getting airbourne and therefore loses altitude before he gets up speed. I wouldn't say for sure but it looks like he dipped into the water on purpose, he didn't have to fly down there. Many of the others don't dip very much at all; they can get going right off the rock at the same time. This one looks like he dipped down and touched his tail on purpose. It looks to me like all the cormorants on the rock this morning are Brandts. I haven't seen them all, but the ones that I've seen clearly have been Brandts. 7:55. Still hasn't really cleared up yet; there's a low misty cloud hanging over that keeps dropping a heavy precipitating mist on us. I see there are some clear skies to the south, but all in all it looks like it may continue to be misty for awhile. 8:00: another 5 min. observation: In--12; Out--1. A couple of observations on some gulls here. Some- body through out of their car what looks like spaghetti on a paper plate with some paper. A groupdef-about 2 Western Gulls came in first, followed by about 3 others that are almost adult, and started eating this. The interesting thing is that there is a dominant bird here; he looks like a big male, much larger than the others, has a bit of brown splotching on his neck. He fends off the others from the food; he chases off all the other gulls except for one which appears to be his mate, looks like the smaller of the 2. There's no aggressive action against this one. Now a couple of immature gulls have come to try to partake and were driven off, too. He ate a big piece of paper with the foodstuff smeared on it. There are a pair of Pelagic Cormorants on the rock

Biel Orway Journal Ft. Baker, beneath Golden Gate Bridge Marin Co., Calif: (4) Nov 11, 1966 rock; there are approximately 15-20 cormorants on the south or S.F. side of that rock that I can see, and I'm sure there are some on the corner that I can't see. So maybe upwards of 40 cormorants can roost here. Some of the Brandts are roosting on very narrow ledges, as opposed to the usual prefer- ence for wider ledge, and it seems possibly that there is some overlap here between preferences at least for roosting between the Pelagics and the Brandts. In the breeding season, of course, the one that prefers the flat, open area is the Brandts, whereas the narrow ledge nester is the Pelagic. In the last few minutes I've seen several of the cormorants fly out from the rock, wheel around about 1/4 mi. off, and come back in. I don't know exactly what this means; maybe it's a warm up or something. From where I sit in the car now, there are 21 cormorants in view on this east side or left side of the rock. 7:36(1/2): a 5-min. observation: In--4; Out--1 The tide is coming in now because those rocks are underwater now, so it's raised about a foot in the 1/2 hr. I've been here. Quite alot of pelican activity out today, not too many big scans of cormorants, but I've seen 2 or 3 flights of pelicans, about 10 birds in each. Very interesting now; it looks like the tide is starting to rush in through the Gate, and I can see the line where the backwash is meeting the in-wash, so to speak, and out there in this moving water are pelicans that are diving like crazy, fishing, hovering, floating on the water, getting up and diving. I've seen this many times now, and there are lots of them out there. Also seems to be an abnormal number of gulls, too, that are working this incoming water, so possibly the incoming tide is bringing lots of food into the Bay, and this is what they're following and feeding on. I still have to look up the tide tables to see what high tide at the Gate is, but I'd bet it won't be long from now and I'd predict within a 1/2 hr. we'll see alot of cormorant activity into the Bay. A couple of minutes ago I saw a cormorant leave the rock, (7:50) fly off to the east. Before he went

Bill Amey Journal Pt. Baker, beneath Golden Gate Bridge Marin Co., Calif.; Bolinas Bay also (6) Nov. 11, 1946 here; I was watching one that looks like he's ready to take off, or wants to take off but now is preening again. That's the only pair that I can see definitely are Pelagics. 8:30: another 5 min. observation: In--2; Out--3. The 3 going out are heading way across the whole channel to a disturbance way over on the other side at least a mile away where you can see 20 or 30 gulls circling around and some commotion on the water itself, possibly a school of fish. This is a good commentary on cormorant eyesight--they saw this clear over from this side of the rock; they left from very close to the rock and have been travelling straight across. Noo whether they got up and started to go just straight out and saw this disturbance, I don't know or whether they saw it and then took off, I can't be sure. I'll leave now at 8:35 and drive over to Bolinas. 9:30 at Bolinas Bay on the east side maybe a 1/4 of the way down; I don't know exactly where I am, but I'm opposite some pilings of an old pier that extend out into the water about 50 yds. On 2 of the pilings where the pier reached an end are 2 cormorants and a Herring Gull. The cormorants are Double Crests; the 2 off the post appear to be adults. There's also one swimming around in the water that looks possibly to be a 2nd or 3rd yr. It has alot more light under- neath. Now one of the Double Crests is holding his wings out on the piling. One observation I've made already is that the shape of the head is different. It seems to be flatter and also the bill tends to hook more strongly at the end, the upper mandible tends to hook strongly downward. The yellow throat patch is very obvious, can be seen from the side, the base of the upper mandible has some of this orange color on it. I see some pelicans out there and various other birds in the bay. About 300 yds. out in the bay I can see --here's a Double Crest right next to the car, just dove--3 White-winged Scoters and 5 Red-breasted Mergansers. I can see another cormorant quite a ways out on another piling. The bird that dove next to the car is a Common Loon, just losing its

Bird Away Journal Bolinás Bay, Main St., Calif. (7) Nov. 11, 1966 breeding plumage; it's beautiful--the breast is white right up to the neck. I'll drive on past this place to see what there is here. Just arrived at a new place approximately 3/4 mi. east around the south side of Bolinás Bay and am now watching a group of about 50 Double-crested Cormorant all on pilings, on an old abandoned pier. Of course, the pier part is gone but the pilings are left. I'll be able to get some observations on these, I hope. They're all taking off now, every one of them is taking off to the southwest. Oh, what a shame! They were airborne very quickly right off those pilings. It'd be interesting to see how on a still day they can get airborne much faster than the Brandts. Now they're circling off to the north, northeast. There are some cormorants in the water out there that are looking at them. Some of them are wheeling back to the west, some still going east. The ones going east are making a big circle, still going east. There is a flock of 9 about 20 yds. into the bay from the piking. Maybe I can get some observations if they care to perform. I guess I missed those before. Their heads are all pointed east; there are 5 out in front, 1 in the middle, then another loose group of 3 behind. I don't know if I spooked those others off or not; I don't see how I did because they were all very quiet here; just all of a sudden whoosh. I see some Surf Scoters out there now; on the way over I saw a Snowy Egret, kingfisher, Pie-billed Grebes. There are some Horned Grebes out here, too, I think. I mentioned the Arctic Loon. There's a Golden-eye going by. So it's very birdy today. These cormorants still haven't dove; I don't know if they're fishing or just what. I see a huge flock of birds on the other side, I guess shore birds, maybe willetts or avocets. A very big flock, I don't know what they're doing. White on the wings. That was an impressive display of flight power of the Double crests off these pilings; they're no more than 4 ft. over the water, mostly about 2 1/2 ft.

Bill Arvey Journal Bolinas Bay, Marin Co., Calif. (8) Nov. 11, 1966 They can take off and maintain level flight without dropping like the Brandts and Pelagics seem to do. I'm down another 3/4 mile or so and I see out in the water a long line of cormorants, no more than 3 deep in any place--approximately 50 in this one string. They don't seem to be doing much; they aren't oriented at all the same way though they tend to be orienting east, paddling away from the shore. Maybe they'll form a fishing flock, I don't know. Nobody's going up or down. They are evenly well- spaced in this line which extends for 50 yds. or so. Very little clumping; there seems to be a good distance between all the individuals and they're in a definite line, front moving in one direction. I noticed when they were sitting on the pilings there were very few very dark birds, like an adult Brandts or something. They were a sort of washed-out black instead of a real glossy black that you find in the other 2 species. The predominance in the ones that I saw had a lot of light underneath and were probably young birds.

Humboldt Co., Nevada July 28-30. Orsrey-Journal. July 28 Lynch and I leave Berkeley at 4:30 PM, Mileage 28531 Arrive Sagehen Creek Station, Nevada Co, Calif at ~ 8:30 PM. Mileage 28727 July 29 up at dawn. Drove w/ Lynch to burned census plots 2 mi. SE of Station. Jim ran a census while I collected birds. Worked through a more or less open burn area with scattered Cerastis thickets. I shot one male green-tailed towhee out of a snag above the Chaparral. He was singing strongly. Another towhee was seen on his spot, probably his mate. Soon came upon a pair of Lazuli buntings in the Cerastis. The male flitted back and forth in the trees - took 3 shots I missed all. The female was skulking around in bushes very near me where she no doubt had a nest, and decided not to collect them. Saw: chipping sparrows, & Williamsons Sapsucker, Flickers, 1 Great horned owl, red breasted nuthatches, Mountain chickadees, Creepers, Audubon Warbler (shot a ?) (in Fir tree) and Western Tanagers Left Sagehen at ~10AM and drove to Winnemucca Nevada, thru N. on Hwy 95 to Paradise Valley. Stopped at bar D ask directions and took dirt road N of town D Hinkey Summit (~6500~7800') which is about 15 miles from town. On the way up we came upon a chukar partridge with a covey of ~15 half grown chicks - some could fly. Adult bird was loathe to fly but finally did so when James chased her w/ car. Then we traveled down the east side and stopped near a house a little distance from its summit. It was in an aspen grove where water formed a small stream and a bog on the hillside, with stunted cabbage and grasses and willows.

Humboldt Co. Nevada July 28-30 Arvey-Journal July 27. Bird life looked very abundant here, but too close to people for collecting, so we got back in VW and traveled down to Martin Creek Ranger Station, where we took a left hand turn crossed a small ridge and dropped into the Lye Creek drainage. We stopped the car at the first spot where the creek crossed the road. We collected downstream from here. The stream itself is very small and shallow but support dense riparian growth of grasses, willows and alders. In some spots the alders are widely spaced w/ no underbrush. The trunks of some trees are quite large also (2-2 ft diameter). (elev 6500-7000') We walked downstream, collecting, for about a mile. The canyon is steep and rocky w/ Artemisia and other arid type plants on the hillsides and open in the bottoms. There are no conifers here. Collected: (1 white crown sparrow, 2 swallows, 2 warbling vireos 2 grey headed juncos), 1 rufous humming, 1 fox sparrow, ( Empidonax oberholseri ), 1 house wren, 1 Talmel warbler. We saw Robins, W. Tanager & Song sparrows, Wilson warblers, Rufous sided towhee, Red shafted flicker, Jazuli Buntings. Heard a chickadee (Black capped?) as we were leaving. On the road down to town from Hinky Summit we got a poor will on the road. First caught him in headlights and he flew off and reland a little way up on down the road. Could still see him through. Got out, walked a little ways toward him. He was fluttering and hopping around in road, pouncing on insects. Dropped w/ 4:10 x 9. July 30 Spent night at Martin Creek recreation area ~ 7 miles ENE of Paradise Valley. Larry Burns (Geology Dept U.C.) and an Archaeology crew (Nevada Univ) are camped here under some large cottonwood

Santa Rosa Mtns. Humboldt Co., Nevada July 28-30 Arvey Journal July 30 Trees. Very dry and windy here. Martin Creek runs through here and it is fair sized but warm. (Saw hot springs upstream). Martin Creek heads in Santa Rosa Mtns. near the ranger station but winds down the back side (SW) and ends up on this side by (NE) by coming through a narrow gap here. Got up early and hiked upstream, collecting, about 2 1/2 miles. Large Volcanic cliffs cap the hillsides here and form cliffs. The hillside leading up to them are covered with Artemisia. Upstream from camp ~ 1/2 mile the canyon narrows drastically (a dam here) and one has to wade frequently. Here the stream vegetation is very sparse, scattered willows in places. Saw: Black tailed Magpies, Ravens, Vultures, hawk sp, Canyon & Rock Wrens, Lazuli Bunting, Bullock's Orioles, Western Tanager, Dark Sparrows, Brewers Sparrows. Beyond the dam the canyon widens out a lot. Some low terraces are built up in places. Cattle are run here. The Artemisia is quite lush and reaches 6-7 feet in places, and is widely spaced. Here we heard, stalked, and shot Sage thrashers which are very abundant here. Also got a Say, Phoebe, Lazuli Bunting, Bullock's Oriole, and Spotted Sandpipers. Saw a duck sp. in canyons. Came back to camp at 11 AM. Quite hot 90+ here but breezy. At breakfast then went into town, where we met Harry a little while later. Went back up to Hunky Summit and over to Hyge Creek area. This time we went up stream, instead of down from where road crosses. Upstream the canyon bottom is wider than below and large stands of aspen spread over it. 2 or 3 smaller tributaries of Hyge Creek begin in this area. Up about to the SW stands Granite Peak, 10970' and a ridge of lesser peaks. Snow still stands in some of its crags areas. The snow patches are not very extensive (and this

1967 Santa Rosa Mtns Humboldt Co. Nevada July 28-30 Arvey Journal July 30 has been a heavy snow year), so we doubt if Rosy Finches will be found here. The riparian growth seems less dense than downstream with fewer Willow thickets. The hillsides are drier with bushes of Artemesia, Potentilla (?), Lupine, mints, and other flowers and grasses. Up higher in the creek bottoms we see the forest edge out into upland meadows. Bumble bees are common in the mint flowers. Near the stream we collect Junco caniceps, Hydroicula ustulatus, Troglodytes troglodytes, Zonotrichia leucophrys, Empidonax. On hillside we collect Brewers Sparrow, and a Juvenile Empidonax. Birds noted are: Robins, Violet gnm. Swallow, Mountain Bluebirds Rufous Hummer, Flickers, Pines Jiskins. We collected a Lark sparrow on the way out, about 5 mi. N of Paradise Valley, off a fence post. Also got a Loggerhead Shrike in same area from a phone line. Left Paradise Valley for Sagehen at about 6 p.m., Arrived Sagehen at 12:30 A.M. Slept til morning. July 31 Back to Berkeley.
