all o's. Investigated a place Dr. Miller men-
tioned as being a possible trap-line sight site.
This lies at the head of a stream about 1/4 mi.
North and 1 mile West of camp, in the range
of hills NW of our locality. At the head of the
stream is a rather heavy woods of Digger
Pine, Blue Oak, and Black Oak. The stream
originates from an extensive area of seepage
and springs, overgrown with sedges, and
studded with rocks. Below the seepage area the
creek takes definite form, and follows a narrow,
rather steep, + very rocky course, running
east until it crosses the road to Bergum.
The creek banks are grown to Blue Oak and
Manganita, with a heavy undercover,
consisting mostly of Poison Oak, with
scattered Salvia. Behind the rather rocky
banks of the creek, on either side, are extensive
areas of Adenostoma. Heard numerous
Mountain Quail on the hillside. Also Cali-
formia Thrashers, Flickers, Cowbirds, Yel-
low Warblers, Bluebirds, Meadowlark,
California Woodpeckers, Slender-billed Thrush
Thatchers, Linnets, California + Steller Jays,
Olive-sided & Ash-throat Flycatchers,
California Quail, Saw Red-tailed Hawk &
