Black oaks and digger pine, etc. Immediately went out collecting (primarily in oaks + edge of chaparral) - got Brown Towhee, R-5 Towhee, W. Tanager + Mt. Chickadee (see spp. account).
Ran into S. Kaiser + we then returned to the camper ca. 1300+ took tissues. After lunch I went out again with a tape recorder w/ Brentit songs to see if it would attract warblers. It worked with considerable success + I collected 8 birds (see journal-S.Kaiser). I then returned ca. 1600+ spent the rest of the afternoon + early evening preparing birds.
Weather beautiful - clear, little wind, temp. lower 60's F.
There are many very tame & deer here - I spent a lot of time within a few yards of the camper. Susan fed it some potato chips. While collecting I had considerable luck attracting small birds by simulating Pygmy Owl + pishing → had Ash-thr. Flye., 2 R-5 Towhees, 2 Gnatcatchers, 2 B-thr Gray Warblers, 1 W-b-r. Nuthatch, 2 W. Tanagers + 1 Mt. Chickadee attracted.
