Davis 1949 Oct. 17 Medford, Jackson Co., Oregon to Grants Pass, Josephine Co. Have apparently really taken over. I must have seen and heard at least 30 and could have collected a dozen or more. Brown how- trees are presumably a common resident in this area. Weather conditions were ideal this p.m. Pleasantly cool, sunny, and no wind. Where the birds were I can't imagine. Oct. 18. Oakland, Jackson Co., Oregon - Gold Hill, Jackson Co., Oregon. Drove to Ashland in a.m. and tried a lot of side roads without success. Drove to Gold Hill, and on the Fall Creek Road, within a few hundred yards of where I collected 2025, I shot another from a roadside Canothus. This was the only Brown how-tee seen all day. Oct. 19. Drove all the way to Grants Pass and tried again without success in a greater expanse of oak-Chafarral Noj form. Drove to Gold Hill and found 1 pair of L. fusca near the place where we collected 2 before. Shot 1, The other flew. These were the only Brown how-tees seen today. They were silent and sly. Gave the fair reinforcement note when I flushed them from a madrone. One flew to a small oak, and was collected therefrom. Birds seen today, not seen before - red-naped Sapsucker, mourning dove (2), white-breasted
