Feathers 1935. Boyce Prairie, Prairie Creek State Park, 240 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. (cont.) Oct. 5, 1935 - alder and maple. Evidence was found of elk climbing the steep, heavily timbered ridge above Prairie Creek. We returned to camp about 1:00 P.M. No elk were seen during the walk. Birds and mammals noticed were: Raven-5, kingfisher-2, quail-5, wood duck-3, band-tailed pigeon-1, chickadee-5, and one chipmunk. After lunch we drove south on the highway 4 miles thence went on a dirt road one half mile to Mr. Davison's ranch. We met Mr. Davison there and questioned him concerning the elk. He stated that it was a common thing for the elk to enter his pastures and gardens to feed. He claimed a great loss of carrots and potatoes he had suffered was due to the destructiveness of the elk. We then drove west 2½ miles through a heavily timbered, hilly country to the Gold Bluff Mine, located on the ocean beach at Gold Bluffs. During a conversation with the mine proprietor, Mr. Smedberg, we learned that the greatest number of elk he had seen in one herd was nineteen. We saw evidence of where the elk had destroyed flowers in a garden alongside the walls of the residence. Elk tracks were seen
