French Camp, 3100 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
Aug. 26 (cont.)
5. Burned over forest - now regrow to either:
(a) - tanbark oak - Chinquapin brushland
(described on p. 75) - with many tall dead trees.
or (b) - Chinquapin brush, with little else
a few dead trees. I not visited by me,
except enroute to next camp; it is
prevalent at the large "Winggrass Prairie"
toward the W.E end of French Camp Ridge
occasional patches of Chinquapin & Madrone
which are frequent
in otherwise solid Douglas fir forest may
represent a later stage in the succession.
Occurrences of vertebrates, as noted by me,
in these habitats is tabulated in the table
on pp. 86-88. Some wide-ranging species, seen only
in flight over some of the habitats and entered
therein by a capital F, but this does not imply
dependence upon that habitat. Those which
foraged primarily in a certain habitat are entered under
it with an X.
3 mi. N Willow Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
Aug. 26 We left French Camp about noon & drove
along the road to N.E. end of French Camp Ridge,
down which the road descends in a series of
switchbacks to Martin's Ferry (now a
suspension bridge) on the Klamath River.
Altho this is outside the transect being
studied on this expedition, the vegetational
