Cogswell 1948 Myadestes townsendi Sep. 9 (mi.) Red Mtn., 5300 ft., 14+ mi. S Hayfork, (9:30 a.m.) Trinity Co., Calif. While I was passing the close stand of white fir (abies concolor) & few admixed sugar pines on its N. facing slope here 2 indi- viduals of this species flew over well above the tree tops, headed north (toward an area of scrub- land and open ridge). I was struck by the loud noise their wings make in flight -- in fact that is what attracted my attention to them when they were some 300 ft. or more away from me. (12:45 p.m.) In returning along the road by this same spot, I had the good fortune of those (same?) 2 birds flying back over me. They perched in the tops of adjacent tall sugar pines & I collected one of them. No call notes were heard from them at either time. The stomach of the one collected contained a single drupe of [illegible] with flesh still adherent to the stone, and there was a similar "stone" or "pit" in the rectum.
