Feathers. 1935. Boyes Prairie Prairie Creek State Park, 240ff., N. Humboldt Co., Calif. Oct. 6, 1935. Russell and I left camp in the truck at 6:30 A.M. and drove to the "Corkscrew Tree", 1 1/2 miles north of Camp. We left the car there and walked north up the Prairie Creek trail about 3 1/2 miles. One fresh elk track was seen, but none of the elk were noticed. During this walk we identified one brush rabbit, one flicker, one hornit thrush and several chishadees. We returned to the truck along the highway and then drove north to the Del Norte Co. line. There we met a man, the caretaker of the Cruthers ranch, who gave us permission to drive the truck down to the ranch house. Before starting down Russell shot a pigmy owl, which had flown into an alder sapling. We drove west down a steep grade, dropping approximately 800 ft. to sea level. We walked down the beach about one mile. Tracks were seen of coon, shunk and deer. We then climbed the brush covered hillside to about 200 ft. elevation and proceeded south maintaining our elevation as we proceeded. The hillsides were grown over with salal, sword fern, alder saplings, salmon berry and sitka spruce, named in the order of their importance.
