D.A. Good 1979 Journal 4 mi. S, 1 mi. E Bull Mtn., 750 m., Lake Co., Calif. [T. 19 N., R. 10 W., SW½ Sec. 36] 11 December Bob Zink, Susan Kaiser and I left MVE c.0630 for Mendocino Natl Forest in Lake Co. We drove N on Hwy 101 to Which, then to Potter Valley and on to Lake Pillsbury. We stopped for an hour or so in an area of Chaparral on the edge of the Natl Forest (2½ mi. E High Peak; 650 m., Lake Co., Calif. [T. 18 N., R. 11 W., NW¼ Sec. 24]) where I collected a Rufous-sided Towhee (OA632). There were fair numbers of Wrentits, Brown Towhees, Scrub Jays, Ruby-crowned Kinglets and other Chaparral and forest edge spp. but few Fox Sparrows which is what we were primarily after. We therefore continued on past Lake Pillsbury to the locality at the top of the page. The habitat was one of mixed coniferous + chaparral: 5-6% Knobcone pine, 0-5% yellow pine, 0-5% Fir, 5-85% chaparral (2-8 ft.) (2+ spp. Arctostaphylos, Chamise, 0-5% Madrone (arbutus), 0-30% scrub oak). We hunted all day, sometimes together and sometimes alone. Set 3 nets which we left up all night. 12 December. Spent a wretched night in a too-light sleeping bag wishing it were morning. Eventually morning arrived; I got up c.0700 to c.20° F weather. It was clear and quickly warmed up after the sun came over the horizon. We hunted all day primarily for Fox Sparrows though we got a number of Wrentits (which are extremely easy to collect - they respond to any sort of squeaking or pishing noise). The chaparral was dense in places but nowhere impenetrable - I got away with only a few serious wounds. The area was hilly with some level + some steep areas. Dry stream beds ran through several of the low areas and I spent some time walking along one of them turning over
