Twenty-eight Golden-crowned Sparrows
trapped at U. of C. Botanical Gardens,
Strawberry Canyon, on Nov. 7, 8, 9, 1933.
Kept in small cages in the Life Sciences
Bulding on the campus until morning of
Nov. 10. They were then placed in paper
cartons covered with mosquito netting,
and were driven in my car to a point
on the right bank of the North Fork of
the Calavera$ River, in Calaveras Co.,
Calif., about 2 miles south of San Andreas.
This is at an elevation of about 1000 ft.,
and is about 84 miles a little north of
eastk from Berkeley. There, in com-
pany with Mary Erickson I released the
birds, which immediately flew across the
river to trees on the opposite bank. There
are grass-covered hills on each side of the
river, dotted with oaks and pines; in the
river bottom are willows, and near by
sycamores and other trees.
