1 mi. W. Hyampom, 1200 ft, Trinity Co., Calif. June 8, 1946 Garry Oak at the edge of a patch of teanothus. The last-throated Flycatcher was taken from a large Garry Oak. When I gave Sireech Owl calls it flew from a limb about 30 ft above the ground to one about 8 ft above ground. It then flew into the dry grass about 20 ft from me, then back to a low limb in the gary Oak, from which perch it was collected. Black-throated Gray Warblers were very common in the oaks. Green-backed Gold- firches were also common in teanothus and Oak patches which bordered on open gressland. Hutton Vireos were common in the oaks and would fly into adjacent teanothus when I started owl calling, often coming within 2 feet of my head. The birds almost always came in pairs. Spotted Towhees were common in teanothus and answered owl calls by calling and then coming in. They usually responded in pairs. Hairy Woodpeckers were scare and 2 or 3 were noted in Oaks. 7 or 8 Downy Woodpeckers were seen or heard in the oaks. One Liskated Woodpecker was Seen. It was very wary and flew from oak stub to oak stub, giving out one or two taps (!) at each station.
