Coggswell 1949 Journal 103 3 mi. N Willen Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. Sep. 1 (cont.) reaches the ridge of which Brownan Mtn. is the culmination we looked around to forest -- at about 2900 ft. elevation -- which is composed of Douglas Fir again, with [illegible] with conifers: enable Tan oak - some Hollem-cup oak and a sprawbling of Incense Cedar, Yellow Pine - Sugar Pine (2 trees). I collected a Junco oregonus here - saw (> heard): 1 Pygmy owl, several Steller's Jays, Red-breasted Nuthatches, - Chestnut backed Chickadees. Shortly above this we reached the top of the ridge (at 11:50) and had lunch and hunted around "Johnson Prairies", which is an area of about 2 acres of dry grass 1 mi. NW of Brownan Mtn. It is surrounded by forest of the same type as just passed through, but with many Pines ponderosa, Libocedrus de. currens and a few Quercus kelloggii at the very border of the opening. Chipmunks (E. townsendi ?) were heard here, and the following birds noted: Turkey Vulture, several; Flicker, 1 heard; Steller Jay, several; Chestnut backed Chick- adee - 10+ (1 collected); Golden crowned Kinglet - 2+ Pine Siskin - 10+: There is a small area of low (apparently snow-matted) Canothies curcatus on serpentine rock near the NW end of the "prairie". Many Sceloporus sp. were the only animals noted in it.
