Cogswell 1949 Journal 85 French Camp 3100 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. Aug. 25 (cont.) S. of Loyote Creek were assumed to be floors, I turned W. on the S. slope of Arbor Camp Ridge, which just toward Redwood Creek Canyon. A short distance along it brings one to a point commanding a fine view of the well forested Redwood Creek area, some ranches in it to the south, and also a great deal of the Bald Hills country to the North. The weather was hot & bird life exceedingly inconspicuous. Saw numerous ground squirrel burrows, but only 1 squirrel above ground. On the oaks on the N. facing slope, where they are much denser than on the S. facing slope, numerous junco's & chipping Sparrows were feeding young. In the leaf litter of a small gully in this oak woodland I frightened a Cnemecis schiltronius. It dashed under a rock which I lifted, but I was able to grab only his tail (which was autotomized). Near the same spot a small striped snake (Thamnophis ?) slid thru the leaves & into a burrow. We returned over Loyote Creek & drove to the large spring at the base of the steep rocks & slope just W. of the peak, which point is reached by a blend gravel road from the North. I collected one Robin in the Douglas fir & maple forest there, and an immature Lazuli Bunting along the road out. A meadowlark was flushed 3 times but wing shots at it were unsuccessful.
