Cogswell 1949 Myiarchus cinerascens Aug. 29 1 mi. N Willow Creek, 450 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. as I stood on a tongue of the dry "plateau" (old river terrace see Journal p. 97) covered by dry shrubland bordering the alder- filled ravines, a large flycatcher flew into the top of a tree at the head of one of the ravines. It showed much reddish brown in its tail and wings as it flew over me just before alighting about 60 ft. away. It was not visible to me when it perched in the tree, or when I moved it flew on across the ravine. After making my way there I could find no trace of it. There is no doubt in my mind, but that the bird seen was of this species.
