to Jamesburg. Cali Woodpeckers seemed to become more common as I came from Tularcitos Rancho and went up the Tassajara grade to the Bruce place being most common in the black oaks and other trees found near the summit of the grade. A great many trees seen in which holes had been dug by these birds in which to store acorns! Altitude at Bruce place is about 4000 feet I think. Bird life is probably more ab- yundant than it appeared to me. I'm going up the Tassajara grade from Blomquist's place I was greatly reminded by the Yacimientos canyon although the latter is much dryer. Saw a young Wm. Meadow- lark at Andrew-Blomquist's place. It was fully fledged but not yet able to fly for- yellow of breast was quite dull.
