Muddy Hollow, 2.7 mi. W, 0.8 mi. S Inverness Park,
Marin Co., Calif.
Oct. 1, 1964 (collected by R.W. Stallop)
28 ♂ (imm sk.) Dendroica striata 16.3 gm extremely fat testes in life.
The bird was in poor condition and the gonads soft even under a 15x dissecting scope. Only one gonad, on the left side, could be found, but this was round, event-textured, unlike every .
The right gonad and adrenal were missing indicating damage to this side of the body.
3.0 gm of hard, greasy, white subcutaneous fat were scooped off the skin; all fat on other birds was yellow. Since there was deleimal fat on the skin + in the body cavity, the bird must have been about 25% fat by wt. -the fattest bird I have yet handled.
