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.
