Feathers 1935. Boyes Prairie Prairie Creek State Park, 240ft., 9. Humboldt Co., Calif. Oct. 7, 1935.

In places, aldar thickets grew right down to the beach sands. The faces of the bluffs were also covered in part by alder thickets. Sitka spruce topped the bluffs. On the way over to the beach we saw: several chickadees, two wrens, several ravens, and on the beach, several pigeons & gulls, 5 cormorants, 5 brown pelicans, 5 kilder, 2 blue heron, 1 pipit, 5 white-crowned sparrows and several song sparrow. Also, 2 meadowlarks and 1 burrowing owl were seen on the beach. Russell and I walked south on the beach to the mouth of Squashan Creek, a distance of about 1 1/2 miles from Upper Gold Bluff mine.
