A. Good 1980 Mt. Chucadee 1 1/2 mi. N + 4 mi. W Burnt Pk., 1480 m, Los Angeles Co., Calif. [T. 7N, R. 16W, NW 1/4 sec. 9] 26 July Lots of Chickadees here (one was 14 gms!). Birds (cont) seem to be traveling in flocks (prob. family groups) Messenger Flat Campground + Lightning Pt. Campground, near Mt. Gleason, Los Angeles Co., Calif. 27 July Grinnell + Miller show an extensive area of chickadee range in this Natl Forest but from what I have seen, the potential habitat is much more spotty. Collected 2 at Messenger Flat in a rather small area of pines. S Kaiser heard several others. Lightning Pt has a much more extensive stand of conifers + here I got 4. These were all solitary birds rather than in small flocks as most of the birds on this trip have been - an interesting fact in view of this is that 3 out of the 4 solitary birds were adult whereas many of the flocking birds are juv. 1 1/2 mi. N + 1/2 mi. E Mt. Baden-Powell, 2070 m, Los Angeles Co., Calif. [T. 3N, R. 8W, NW 1/4 sec. 6] 28 July Chickadee pie! We got 14 (I got 9) in no more than an hour. The chickadees seem to show some preference for the firs.
