unable to collect them. We then changed tactics
+ started driving along the road (E on Ruby Canyon
Rd), stopping periodically to get out + play the tape.
This worked very well - each stop yielding 2-3 wrentits.
By 0930 we had enough wrentits + then headed for
the area in which there were supposed to be [illegible]
chuckadees (see spp. account). We continued E on

had lunch + collected a few chuckadees. Habitat mixed
Blade Oak, Ponderosa Pine, Digger Pine, Douglas Fir, Scrub
Oak. A couple of carloads of people arrived ca. 1400
so we moved down the road to 1/2 mi N + 1/2 mi W
Burnt Pk to a large stand of similar habitat where
we spent the day collecting (walking mostly along
what we later discovered was the Pacific Coast Trail).

site + so drove back to the Lake Hughes-Elizabeth
Lake road the way we had come + then on E to
Palmdale (missing our way + going through
Lancaster on the way). Then S on 14 to Sobadal
Canyon Rd + W on this to Indian Canyon Rd on
which we drove S into the Natl Forest. We stopped
