3anbrs 1956 48 Journal 18 mi S, E of Chida, Santa Costa C., Calif. 250 ± ft. 22 Nov. Arrived at end of Donna Maria Rd., near Palm Treble's, just before 8:00. Here in the shade it was rather chilly. The birds were active in the weeds and brush at the edge of the woods. Immediately on my arrival I saw and/or heard these species: Colaptes cafer Aphebecoma coacalescens Cyanovitta stelleri (very dark head, whitelore) Pijilo fusces Pijilo erythrophthalmus Zonotrichia coronata singing Zonotrichia leucophrys Junco vegans Tams inornatus Melospiza melodia Tams caferescens Parascopus pullerensis californica Thryomanes leuichi Along the field across the creek : Stunnella neglecta Carnaea fuscata An Accipiter (probably velyx) made a low pass just at the edge of the woods. Didn't get anything. The Juncos feeding in the open immediately returned to cover, but the danger was past before they realized (by hearing the alarm notes of the other birds, I guess) that it was present. A boy went over the hill quail hunting. While up in the woods, Scanda Butes gorgacensis screaming over the open fields nearby.
