Ang eles Nat'l Forest, S Calif.
26 July (curt)
Beside the road for the night arrived 2100, made skeletons until 2200.
Saw several woodrat nests in the forest. Also came across a dead Raccoon - cause of death unknown though it didn't seem to have been violent. Also a couple of bee livied, one of which I almost ran afoul of.
See journal S. Kaiser for app. list of localities.
27 July Up 0630. weather hot, clear to scattered clouds, still to light breeze. We continued our Wrentit collecting procedure this morning driving S on Indian Canyon Rd + then E on ridge Rd (P3N17).
Habitat - chaparral - varying from dominant chamise to that of scrub oak. We had considerable bad luck with collecting this morning, only getting 5 birds. By ca. 1000 we decided to quit Wrentit hunting because of the heat + we then moved E to Messenger Flat Campground where we had lunch + did some Chickadee hunting. Habitat - island of mixed Ponderosa + Coulter Pine in the chaparral. - Trees varying from seedlings to 75dm diam. After lunch I spent some time looking for chickadees but found none. Therefore we moved E to a larger stand of conifers at Lightning Point Campground. While driving around casing the situation, we managed to get the camper temporarily stuck but eventually got it out (1600). Habitat similar to previous locality. Here we stayed until ca. 2000 looking
