A Good 1980 Journal 21 May 1 mi. N + 2 mi. W Crockett Pk, 3800 ft., Lake Co., Calif. Woke up ca. 6:15 this morning + got up ca. 6:45 (before Ned + Susan) + went collecting before breakfast. I went N to the area of chaparral in which Susan got lost yesterday and collected 3 wentitos. This chaparral consisted primarily of scrub oak with only a few mangarita, etc. I returned to the camper ca. 8:00 + we almost immediately moved on to a new area so that Susan could get more Wentito + Ned could get some Bell Sparrows. We drove east along 18N04 (which turned into 18N02) to a locality in which Ned had collected Solitary Vireos before + wanted to get some more: 3 mi. N + ½ mi. W St. John Mtn., 3900 ft., Lake Co., Calif. Here Susan + I prepared the 3 wentitos I had collected in the morning while Ned went out to get his vireos. Since he returned before we had finished, he + Susan stayed in the camper working while I walked east along the road for a couple of miles - Shot at a couple of Western Flycatchers & but it fell into a ravine full of pines + oaks + I lost it. Beyond this, I came out into pasture land + found no species we were interested in. However, there was some beautiful scenery with a great view of St. John Mtn. When N + S finished their birds they came along + picked me up + we drove on to an area of chaparral on Black Diamond Ridge where we had lunch ca. 11:30. We then drove on to a new location where we spent the rest of the day collecting wentitos + Bell Sparrows: See next page for location:
