Berkeley to Southern California
23 July Susan Kaiser + I left LSB ca. 1530 for S. Calif. in
search of Wrentits + Mtn Chicleadees. We drove S on
17 to 101, S on 101 to Atascadero, San Luis Obispo Co.,
and W from Atascadero on 41 to Cerro Alto Campground,
S.L.O. Co. Reached campground ca. 2400 + spent the
night.
Los Padres National Forest, S. Calif.
24 July Up 615. Weather today clear, light breeze + hot
(104°F in New Cuyama, Sta. Barbara Co. in mid
afternoon). Left campground immediately + drove
E on 41 to 101, S on 101 to Santa Maria, Sta.
Barbara Co. + E on 166 to Pine Canyon R.S.
where we asked for info. on Wrentit + Mtn.
Chicleadee habitats. We then drove E on 166 to 325/13
which we took SE into the Sesena Madre Mtns. We
stopped in the midst of the Chaparral at the crest
(2½ mi. N + 1mi W Miranda Pine Mtn., ca. 800m,
Santa Barbara Co., Calif. [T. 12N, R. 18E, NW ± dec. 33]
to look for Wrentits. Though we heard several, it was
by then (ca. 1100) very hot + none would respond to
squeaking, etc. Habitat: Chamise, Manzanita, Scrub oaks, etc.
After ca. 1 hr we drove further SE on 325/13 to an
isolated
stand (ca. ½-1 mi²) of Coulter Pine at Miranda Pine
Mtn., 1220m, Sta. Barbara Co., Calif. [T. 11N, R. 18E
SE ± dec. 9]. Here we looked for Mtn. Chicleadees, but,
as we expected, found none. See Journal S Kaiser for
