Coyote 1949 Parus gambeli Sep. 1 Brannan Mtn. 3500 ft. 1 mi N, 3 1/4 mi W Willow Creek, (3:00-4:00 pm) Humboldt Co. Calif.: On both slopes of the first saddle just south of the peak I heard the distinctive "chi-dee-dee-oleo" calls of this species in the open coniferous forest (see Journal for description). One group of 3+ individuals I was able to call to me by imitating a screech owl, + one was collected. This locality is approximately 10 mi N. of the previous records this far W in our transect. Sep. 3-4 Brannan Mtn., 3700 ft. Humboldt Co. Calif. Estimated 5+ birds in area just above the Sep. 1 locality; collected 1 of them. Sullion reports many more in the more extensive area of open pine forest on the S. facing slope just over the ridge. Sep. 5 Philpot Cr. canyon, ft., 7 mi. S Hayford, Trinity Co. Calif. - Calls of this species were heard in the Douglas fir-oak forest on a SE. facing slope, Sep. 6-10 Red Mtn. to Dubabella Mtn. ridge, 5200-5700 ft., 15-12 mi. S Hayford, Trinity Co. Calif. Abundant; by far the most numerous of all species of birds found here. They were frequently en- countered in both forest types (open pine, and white fir-cedar-pine) and came readily to a squeak or owl call. Nearly all notes were in groups of 5-20 individuals, visually accompanied by a few Red-breasted Nuthatches.
