Cogswell 1949 Hylocichla mustelina Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. Aug. 16 - Caught 2 in my small mammal traps set under Rubus spectabilis, R. parviflorus, & Sambucus racemosa thickets just N. of Putler Creek in a mixed spruce & alder forest. One was in fresh plumage, [illegible] and was saved (= #31); the other was in juvenile plumage. The species had been heard & seen commonly in this and other similar settings throughout our stay here. One bird was giving a rather indefinite attempt at song near our camp last evening. Aug. 9-19 Habitats in which this species was noted were: (1) Spruce-alder forest with thicket understory or border (as above); (2) Redwood-Towland fir forest; (3) alder- maple-spruce wet forest; (4) 3-year old burn near the stream (alder & Rubus shrubs). Aug. 28 (1mi N) Willow Creek, 450 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. one heard calling & glimpsed in low alder shrub at border of alder woodland & dry open scrub land. Both the low "whit" & louder "wheeze" heard.
