30 June (cont) were very quite + I found no Sparrows or Chickadees, only
a R-6 Nuttall's (DAG 112). Came back ca. 1500 + had lunch
then shunned birds until ca. 1700.
There is a lot of bear scat around here + Bob + Susan

apart + found bones + teeth of some large rodent - probably
a marmot (woodchuck-like holes in the chaparral seem
to indicate this also). Lots of Fox sparrows around here.
(Habitat Douglas Fir - Pine - Cedar forest with large
expanses of burned over area grown up with chaparral.
Very thick brush consisting of manzanita, Cornus, Quercus,
