D.A. Good 1980 Journal 18 May Berkeley to Deer Creek, 2300 ft, 3½ mi S + 5 mi W Crockett Lake Co., Calif. Left MVZ at 0900, stopped for provisions and left Berkeley at about 10:30. We travelled to Mendocino Natl. Forest by way of Hwy 101 to Ukiah, Hwy 20 E to Upperdale and then N on 1N02, 18N02 and 18N04 to Deer Creek. People in party - Susan Kaiser, Ned Johnson + me. Purpose - to get some familiarity with Ned + his collecting - preparing procedures. No birds of note were seen on the trip - just the usual roadside app. Cut stubs in a ford but some guys w/a pickup were there to pull us out - Ford over Rice Creek. Reached Deer Creek in the late afternoon and stopped there on the spur of the moment because Ned saw some good Solitary Vireo habitat in the valley to the W. of the road. The habitat consisted of riparian vegetation w/alders, some willows near creek and some large Valley oaks also in the valley. The hillside to the S was covered w/mixed woods (conifer-hardwood). To the N of the valley, the vegetation consisted of chaparral consisting mostly of chamise w/some ceanothus, manzanita + scrub oaks. We camped just W of some private land w/a house which was unoccupied. Ned wanted to get recordings of Solitary Vireos and collections of Vireos, Western Flycatchers, Bell Sparrows, + possibly Sapsuckers. Susan wanted Wrentito. We collected until ca. 18:30 when we returned to the camper for supper. Susan had collected 1 Bell Sparrow, I had collected nothing except a terrific headache which developed into some sort of stomach problem (i.e. I got sick)
