Paris 43 7+6 1 mi. W. Hyampom, 1200 ft, Trinity Co., Calif. June 6, 1946 Good stands of Fraxinus oregana near the river. A few black oaks were also noted. Two Song Sparrows were taken, both in the willow thickets by the river. Two downy woodpeckers were taken from a cottonwood tree by the river, within two minutes. Western bluebirds were noted in the cotton woods. Violet-green swallows are numerous along the river. One ash-throated flycatcher was seen on the top of a cottonwood tree at least 50 ft high. I shot at the bird but missed. Many Allen Hummers were noted, especially about patches of Rosa and Rubus where they were feeding. Three P's were seen at one time feeding in one large blackberry patch. In the afternoon moved my traps from the irrigation ditches and set them in the willow and grape tangles, and under the ash trees. Several traps were set in pure patches of Salvia sp. June 7, 1946 Traps caught 5 Mniotus and 1 P. turii. Only the feromyzus was saved. Hunted in the willows and cottonwoods along the river.
