French Camp, 3100 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
aug. 21 (cont) shrubs in a partially closed canopy, but
with twigs not tightly interlaced. Lower
shrubs in the understories include much
Haeitheria shallon some aristophylos glandu-
losa, and little Berberis and Polystichum
sp.
Rteris aquilina and Rubus netifolius
occur farther up toward the top of the ridge.
many down logs, dead stumps & boles remain
from a former fire. Photos taken of area.
aug. 20-25
I found no wren.tits at other than the above
described area while we were at this camp,
but Sullion found them more numerous on
the lower part of the SE-facing slope of
the burned over area [I see his notes].
aug. 28 Horse Lints Creek, 900 ft., 4¼ mi. N & 1½ mi. E of
3:30 pm. Willow Creek, Humboldt Co., Calif.
My squishing to
call out a spotted Towles (see specit) from the
underbrush here in a rather open Douglas
fir - tan oak - chinquapin forest brought up
two individuals
of this species, which were collected.
The tall trees, apparently survivors of a very
old fire, are scattered. most of the space be-
tween them is filled with closely spaced, spindly
young firs from 20-40 ft. high. Under this is a
near thicket of Vacanium ovatum, the shrubs
with branches just interlacing, with a little
Rubus perwifloras & some ferns also included.
The wren.tits came from the interior of this
thicket
