J. Davis 1949 Oct. 17 Medford, Jackson Co., Oregon - Grants Pass, Josephine Co. Soft Sage, & the Lord, metallic chink. Turned off 234 to Hwy 62, went to Eagle Point, type locality of bellates. Country mostly oak woodland, widely spaced, small trees, little brush, and no frownees. Saw brush tits, Lewis and Acom - storing Woodjockers. Returned to Medford. All of the country between Medford and Grants Pass supports extensive oak-Chaparral formation, with extensive stretches of seemingly ideal P. fusus habitat, but the birds seem scarce. In 7 1/2 hours, we saw three fairs. Both specimens collected 1S+ year birds, yet they were definitely members of a pair, or rather, of 2 different pairs. The occurrence of yellow pine & Douglas fir, and more rarely of incense cedar, and the presence of occasional pines or Douglas firs - in fields, indicates a far wider occurrence of coniferous forest before the giant lumber operations started in this area. The Chaparral must have been more restricted. The occurrence of manzanita in extensive, pure stands, looks like a succession following logging off. The Spotted towhees
