Eogswell 1949 Journal 99 Aug 30 3 mi. N Willow Creek, 700 ft. Humboldt Co., Calif. This a.m. Sullivan & I went back to the same locality as yesterday and hunted until 11:30. I continued a little farther up the hill beyond the old river terrace with its dry shrubland and found a 100 yard-wide pocket carved out of this terrace by one stream. It is bordered by tall Red Alders, has the intervening spaces full of large boulders covered with blackberry & mosses. The stream itself is sluggish here & full of water cress. I collected 1 Solitary Vireo, 1 Tolmie Warbler, and 1 Scotogopus occidentalis. I saw a blue- tailed Gummeez among the boulders & logs near the stream in the "pocket." Along the river I shot at, but did not obtain, an American Mergersee (see species account). Birds observed are tabbed by habitats in the table on p. 110A. Aug.31 Again Sullivan and I returned (about 10 a.m.) to the woodland area W. of the Trinity River in an attempt to get specimens of several of the species not heretofore collected at Willow Creek which we knew to be there. We did not work beyond the Deciduous Shrub & Briar Thicket and adjacent Woodland and Orchard today. I collected 1 House Finch, 1 Lazuli Bunting, & 1 Wood Pewee (see species account). Saw 3 Green-winged Teal on the river.
