Big creek, 4 min N and 2 mi E of Hayfork, 2800 feet, Trinity Co., Calif.
June 9, 1946
Mens were taken between 50 and 100 feet from Big Creek. Numerous large Gernhoetus were seen and heard crawling through the leaf litter. 2 were taken. The locality given He's Ensatina and the 2 Gerhonotus is the same lat as that at the head of this page. After supper, Dr. Miller heard Hammulated Treech Owls calling, and he and Ward went in search of them. Ward returned about 9 p.m. We started to turn in at 10 p.m. when I heard an owl calling from the ridge above us. The night was bright moonlight, but the owl was calling steadily. Ward and I met Dr. Miller on the ridge. He was after the same owl as we were. Dr. Miller finally collected this male owl. Ward called up and collected another male, and we called in a female, but were unable to find her in the trees, so returned to camp at 0045 June 10.

Skinned some of the Fox Sparrows Dr. Miller had collected June 9. Then broke camp, packed the truck and drove to Hayfork where we picked up mail and groceries. Ate lunch and drove to Weaverville, where we picked up more groceries. Then drove out on Hwy 299 towards Arcata.
