Nov 3. Park Cr., 6 3/4 mi. W Weed, 4300 ft., Siskiyou Co., Calif.
The notes of Regulus satrapa I found were usually 3 or more in a sequence and not so high pitched as the one or two notes of Certhia; the latter were of a pitch more like the opening notes of Regulus calendula in song.
Williamson Lapouche -- taken while working up the trunk of a yellow pine
Norris took Pygmy and Red-breasted Nuthatch from a mixed flock on this slope. -- [see his notes]
I took a Golden-crowned Kinglet from a flock of 4 or 5 foraging in Douglas Fir at base of this slope at 12:30. Later, I heard a chickadee call and followed it up. Two seemed to be present; they were wary but I caught a glimpse of a gray back of one bird. Norris had taken P. gambeli upslope and call did not sound like the drawled version of rufulus.
We spent the night in this locality. A few drops of rain after 5:00 pm, then clear sky. Temperature above freezing although I had seen remnant snow patch on N-facing slope. Gorman, who found no amphibians along creek, drove to Ice Caves 11 mi NE of Weed during afternoon but returned empty handed.
Nov 4. En route to Montague, Siskiyou Co., Calif. We broke camp by 8:15 am and drove NE to Hwy 99, then north through Gazelle. We took a dirt road from Yreana to Montague, then N to Agee and five miles by road toward the NE, moving up into the hills.
