Dogwood was conspicuous here with red leaves. Flock of Golden-crowned Kinglets (5 or 6) in this area. [Norris worked lower on this slope and took Larus rufescens, Western Bluebird and saw Winter Wren] About noon, we heard repeated single notes of a Screech Owl down this slope. We spent the early afternoon hours skinning birds. I prepared a Peromyscus (#626, ?) taken by Norman. It had no embryos; mammary glands regressing. We broke camp in midafternoon, driving back downslope toward Squaw Creek. We drove to a cascading brook and Norman took an Aegides flavipunctatus under moist rocks in "splash zone" of fall.
