25 June (cont) and a Bushtit (DAG 89). Altogether today I collected
10 Mt. Chickadees, 2 W. Bluebirds, 2 Robins, 1 Bushtit and
5 Fox Sparrows (See R.M. Zink catalogue). One Fox Sp. was partly
aberrant.
While out collecting I came upon a Mt. Chickadee nest
(see sp. account). I also found the nest of a Red-breasted
Sapsucker (ca. 10m up in fir (?) tree) and a White-headed
Woodpecker (ca. 3m up in stump). I also came upon
a Kestrel which was not pleased w/ my presence + probably
had a nest in the vicinity. A pair of Sharp-shinned
Hawks was also present in the area.
Deer are very numerous in the area and not very
wary > on foot, one can approach to within 50m.
Weather cleared up by mid morning and became
quite nice. Temp up to 10°C in wind, 15 in shelter sun.
started out ca. 7:57 cloudy, cleared
up after an hour.
26 June Up ca. 0630 - weather clean + rather cold. Went out collecting
Chickadees for a couple of hours (got 3) then back to camp to
help take down the mist nets until the chickadees needed tissues
taken. When I had finished the chickadees (ca. 0830-900) we
left and went to Wildwood for breakfast. Then we moved on
to the next locality to look for Wrentits :

We reached this spot mid-morning. Vegetation primarily
chaparral with lots of ceanothus + scrub oaks. Also large patches of
