100 ft., 1/2 mi. S Ft. Bragg,
Mendocino Co., Calif.
May 23, 1934.
Robert T. Orr and I left Orinda, Contra
Costa Co. at 9:15 A.M. We arrived in
Santa Rosa at 11:45 A.M., having traveled
via the Carquinez Bridge, Napa and the
Sonoma Valley. We purchased groceries
at Santa Rosa and also had lunch there.
Fort Bragg was reached by 5:30 P.M. The
route from Santa Rosa was via Healdsburg,
Clourdale, Boonville and Mendocino City.
A lazuli bunting (Pareuria amoena) was
seen a few miles north of Clourdale.
During a momentary stop along the Navarro
R., a few miles west of Navarro, the calls of
several birds were identified. They were:
Steller jay, kingfisher, pileolated warbler,
must-backed thrush and song sparrow.
A brush rabbit was seen along the road
west of Navarro, and also a rubber snake,
which had been crushed on the road.
We endeavored to locate in a cabin near
Ft. Bragg, but could find no small food
available. Inquiries elicited the information
that gophers were quite numerous in the
vicinity. We saw numerous gopher mounds.
Camp was made at an auto camp 1/2 mi. S
Ft. Bragg. The proprietor had caught a gopher
that afternoon, which I secured.
