DA Good 1960 Journal ½ mi N Black Butte, 2080 m, Glenn Co., Calif. [T. 22N, R. 9W], NW¼ sec. 27] 22 June (int) the nestlings I put in the cooler. I will transfer them to alcohol as soon as we can get some. I finished w/ all of this about 1300 and about 1430 we decided again to move on as this area had few Fox Sparrows. We drove N on FH 7 to Low Gap Station, hoping to get some information on likely collecting places. However, it was closed. We then ate lunch and decided to drive N on M4 to: ½ mi E Anthony Pl., 1950 m, Mendocino Co., Calif. [T. 23N, R. 10W, SW¼ sec. 15] We arrived here about 1530. Habitat similar to last 2 localities w/ lots of large + small firs. Also patches of meadow + brush fields. Good-sized stands of Brunus. Bob and Susan decided to take a map and I went out collecting again ca 1600. I got 4 Fox Sparrows and returned ca. 1745 by which time Bob + Susan were up. We all went out then again (after we had taken tissues from my 4 sparrows) but I got nothing. We returned ca. 1930 and took tissues from the birds Bob had gotten on this last excursion. We then had supper and began to prepare the birds we had taken tissues from today but had done nothing further with. Bob and Susan are still doing this at the time of writing (2245). I am about to go out and set out the traps. Weather today became windy dry mid- morning. High temp. ca 130C. Cloudy in afternoon.
