April 3 Strawberry Canyon, U.C. campus, Alameda Co., Calif.
This morning Carl Hubbs + I made a survey
of birds in the canyon. He was working with
hawks + I was making a census of the
various members of the Fringillidae found
in the different habitats in the canyon.
We went through the grasslands + separated
on the north slope of the canyon, through
the eucalyptus grove east of the cyclotron,
through the Botanical Gardens, + back to
the stadium through the oak-laurel
association on the south slope of the
canyon. The weather was clear, but cool,
