Cogswell 1949 Journal 98 3 mi. N willow creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. aug 29 (cont.) by Rubus recurvans, R. nitidifolius, Chamaes californicus, Salix lundiana, & Salix lasiolepis. (6). Dry Shrubland (an open canopied formation) just described above (p.47) (7) River bank woodland - dominated by Umbellularia californica, Alnus rubra, Populus trichocarpa, Salix lasiolepis, S. lasiandra, Fraxinus oregona, Quercus kelloggii. Several areas are pure stands of one or the other of the first 2 species (as described). Other than in pure stands of Umbellularia there is a dense low understory of semi-shrubs & vines (Rubus nitidifolius & other species). (8) Walnut orchard, with grass & scattered blackberry as ground cover. (9) Gravelly & bouldered stream banks. The only significant vegetation here is Salix lucida tana in clumps, and individual S. melanopsis & S. lasiandra. about 30 - 80 yards wide. (10) The river itself - with some slower, calm portions & some turbulent "rapids" with some white water. Birds seen in or over these several associ- ations are tallied in the table on p. 110 A. I collected 2 Dana boylii (1 saved); 1 Cinclos mexi cana, 2 Dendroica aestiva, 1 Dendroica nigres cens, 1 Pipilo maculatus, and 1 Spinus psaltria (see respective species acts). Many Sclerurus were seen.
