February 22, 1936 46° F. Brush spotted tops of the hills. The grassy tops of the north rim and the grassy swails among them and facing slightly north from them provided a place for Meadow- Ranks; and many were present. I did not determine what the attraction was for Meadow- Ranks here but they were obviously getting food from on the wet ground or the that grassy grass & weeds. Likewise I didn't determine what attracted the Red-chuffed Flickers to the ground but, they were there (about 506) then) and would retreat to the grove? eucalyptus trees when disturbed. The eucalyptus grove was discussed in species notes a [illegible] subspecies? for this trip.
