A. Good 1980 Journal Whaleback, Siskiyou Co., Calif. 3 July (cont) wandered around on some of the back roads S + E of Whaleback for a while + finally decided to find the top of the brush field we had seen on the N slope yesterday. In the way up we met a fellow on the road who told us there was an extensive brush field in the vicinity of the saddle between the 2 peaks of Whaleback. But when we got there (alt. 2300 m.) we found only Foxtail Pine + firs. We then returned to a branch road we had seen leading in the right general direction + finally arrived at the top of the brush field. Location: W slope Whaleback, 8½ mi. N + 2 mi. E Mt. Shasta 2050m., Siskiyou Co., Calif. [T. 43 N, R. 3 W, SW ¼ sec. 26] arrived here early afternoon. Habitat solidly montane chaparral (manzanita, ceanothus, etc.) w/ a few scattered firs + fir stumps. Spent afternoon shinning, etc. birds + went out looking for Fox Spanworm ca. 1800. Back about an hour later without having [illegible] any although a number were seen. Since no one was home in the camper, I am taking the opportunity to write notes. The rest of the evening (it is now 2000) will be spent having supper, perhaps reading and going to bed. While out looking for Fox Spanworm this evening, I observed a ♂ Marsh Hawk foraging over the chaparral. This seems to me odd but not, but perhaps not.
