1941.
June 21. Daytona Beach, Volusia Co., Florida.
metto scrub. caught 2 lizards today - one very suggestive of Cnemidophorus sexlineatus, the other a gray-headed, green-bodied lizard, which seemed to have the property of changing its color (at least from dark green to light green).
June 22. Collected along beach: 1 Semifalmated + 1 Wilson Plover. Drove about the country south of Daytona Beach looking for possible collecting places. Hunted for a few hours in pine barrens (Pinus palustris). No luck. Too hot's bright.
June 23. Collected in pine flats Tri. & Daytona Beach, Volusia Co., Florida: 1 Pinewoods Sparrow, 1 Cardinal, + 3 Red-cockaded Woodpeckers. Plumage note - immature red-cockadeeds had a large central red crown patch, the adult had 2 small cockades, 1 in each auricular tract. Most of the birds seem to be young of the year. 2 wood-peckers + the cardinal were young.
June 24. Hunted in pine flats again. Tufted oriole, 1 bluejay, + 1 crested flycatcher, all young, + 1 red-bellied woodpecker, adult. Young birds were very numerous, especially bluejays and crested flycatchers. Sibly shot a large colubid snake, tentatively identified as a "Chicken snake" (Elaphe sp.), which measured 5 ½ feet. I preserved & cataloged it.
