SKUNK CREEK, BRANCH OF OAK CREEK, Several miles northwest of
CORVALLIS, BENTON CO., OREGON
April 23, 1949 9:30am to 12:30pm.
Weather - clear

from a recently burnt out blackberry thicket

Violeg-Green Swallow - overhead
Oregon Chickadee - giving mating whistles from cottonwood along creek
Bushtit - calling.
Seattle Wren
House Wren - singing from farmyard.
Calaveras Warbler - Heard a familiar song from the Fremont, which I
thought might be a calaveras warbler. Sure enough, one was dis-
covered singing from a big maple tree. Later traced down another
song which turned out to be another calaveras singing a different
song. The latter song was similar to the lazuli bunting song.
The former something like an Audubon Warbler. The first one
sang for an hour, stopped for about a half hour at 10:30 and be-
gan again at 11:00 and continued often on until we left.
Black-throated Gray Warbler - Quite a few of them heard singing.
Saw only one.
