Paris 59 746 2 mi. W. of Elk Grove, at sea level, Humboldt Co., Calj. June 14, 1946 ing from the bluffs out on the beach, in some instances almost to the water's edge. Willow goldfinches were singing at the bases of the bluffs, in the grass, and song sparrows were heard in the shrubs about 30-40 yards out on the beach in the grass belt. White-crowned sparrows were common both at the bases of the bluffs and in the shrubs on the beach, calling and singing. One was taken from a shrub. Returned to camp without further collecting. Later in the afternoon I set 30 traps in a very wet, grassy meadow in the Sitka spruce just above the lagoon 1/4 mile north of camp. After supper we heard the Murrelets again. They were not calling overhead where it was clear, but we heard them calling north of us where the fog was rolling in from the ocean. Pats started flying at about 8. Miller and Russell shot 3, all L. noctivagans, and I took a Myotis (luripagus?). June 15, 1946 Picked up traps. Catch = 1 Microtus oregoni. Ward, who had set nearby, caught 2 shrews. We put up our catches, then broke camp & headed out to 101 at 6:10 a.m. Headed south
