DA Good 1980 Mtn Chickadee 1 1/2 mi. N + 1/2 mi. W Frazier Mtn., 1720 m, Ventura Co., Calif. [T. 8 N, R. 20 W, SE 1/4 sec. 9] 25 July I wanted to see if chickadees occurred in the extensive stands of pinyon pine in this area rather than only on the Jeffrey pines I collected in yesterday (only at higher elevations). Indeed they do, + quite commonly. This means that their potential range is much greater than it otherwise would have been. I heard several songs today of varying types. Some sounded "normal", others had the last not possibly a shade higher, others (prob. yy birds) quavered considerably. One bird sang a 4 note song - - - - Angeles Natl. Forest (NW portion), Los Angeles Co., Calif. 25 July The wildlife biologist at Saugus RS said that (cont.) mtn chickadees are common in the Sawmill mtn region in the N part of the forest. If so, it is not shown by Belk or Grinnell + Miller. Tomorrow we will find out. Sawmill Campground, 1550 m., 1 1/2 mi. N + 1/2 mi. E Burnt Pk., Los Angeles Co., Calif. [T. 7 N, R. 16 W, NW 1/4 sec. 15] 26 July chickadees here (not mentioned by Grinnell + Miller) though only moderately common. Sympatric w/ Plain Titmouse which is very common.
