A. Good 1980 Journal 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
