Cogswell 1949 Journal 107 Sep.3 3 mi. N willow creek, 700 ft. Humboldt Co., Calif. From 7:40 to 8:50 a.m. Bullion and I hunted over the borders of the field on the Patterson Ranch at the foot of the mountain. This is on the east side of the Trinity River valley & is at the base of the madrone-Black oak-Tarry oak forest described on p.93. The forest near its border here has a greater % of Black oak & less madrone than higher up. Between the forest and most of the southern half of the field is an area of shrubland which is of much the same physiognomy as that noted on the river terrace across the valley (see p.97), but the tallest shrubs are Black oak, madrone so I suspect that it was cleared & is now re agrowing to forest. The space between the taller shrubs is nearly filled with arcts. Staphylos mongainus and many lesser plants, including Bracken, Blackberry, coffeeberry, & Klamath weed. I did most of my hunting in this shrubland & along the edge of the adjacent hay stubble & corn fields. I collected 1 Red-shafted Flicker and 1 Scrub Jay (see species accounts) and saw the following bee: Turkey Vulture -2; Sparrow Hawk-1; Hariny Woodpecker-1; Downy Woodpecker-1 Heard; Empidonax sp.?-5+; Steller Jay -2; Chestnut-backed Chickadee-2; Black-throated Grey Warbler-1?, Toline Warbler-1; Western Tanager-10?
