Accipiter striatus
Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif.
Aug. 8 one found dead by Dr. Pearson along my first
trip line -- at border of spruce-alder forest.
[This one later skimmed by Dr. Miller, = his # ? ]
Aug. 18 one seen circling over our camp near the same
spot as above -- 1/2 mi. from SE end of the lagoon.
Aug. 23 French Camp, 3100 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. one seen
in camp in late a.m. It approached over the tree
tops with a wave of retreating juncos in the
trees in front of it. as it came into the clear-
ing it dropped to just above the ground and
kept at this level on into the forest & the NE.
Sep. 5 Trinity River canyon near Del Soma, 1200 ft.,
Trinity Co., Calif. - one seen flying over pine-
black oak woodland in small flat in another
much deeper canyon.
Sep. 10 (2 1/2 mi. NNW) Red Mtn. 5300 ft., 14 mi. S Keyfork, Trinity Co.
Calif. - one, in immature plumage, observed
closely but briefly about 11:30 a.m. as it dashed
thru the trees bordering the spring by our camp
to chase small birds I had squeaked up (see
Journal). It perched about 20 yards from
me; but as I changed loads in my gun, it
flew closer yet just for an instant - then
glided off down canyon beneath the tree
canopy before I could shoot it.
