Boulevard, ST 1941 May 22 Russian Gulch State Park, 40 ft., Mendocino Co., Calif. 5:20 PM Josephine and I made a quick trip up North Trail to inspect traps set out in redwood forest and pygmy forest for weasel, Aplodontia, and chipmunks. Found large or woodrat in trap set on log baited with walnut and oats. Large redwood log 5 ft. diameter lying amid thick growth of rhododendron, bracken, Vaccinium, Labrador Tea, blackberry, Pinus muricata, Pinus contorta var. bolanderi, and Cupressus pygmaea. May 23 Today overcast, slightly chilly and fine day for hiking. Mrs. Grinnell, Josephine, Viola, and I set off up the gulch to the east to see if we could hit the trail around Viola and I discovered 2 days ago and circle back to the north via the pine barrens. From the circle clearing at the end of the auto road 1½ miles up the gulch, we took a trail leading north along a small gulch 1 mile to the falls where the stream plunges 60 or 70 feet over granite rock face about 30 ft across. This very damp, green redwood habitat thickly grown with ferns, some rhododendron, more humid forms of plant life. We heard and saw very few birds in this redwood area - only identified the Western Winter Wren. Saw a Redwoods Chickaree in a redwood. We did hit the trail Viola & I had previously travelled and hiked up emerging into the pine barrens. An amazingly rapid transition in a few hundred feet from humid redwood forest to the almost arid-appearing pine barrens.
