Logswell 1949 Passerina amoena Aug.22 Schoolhouse Peak, 2500 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. Along the road on the W. face of the peak I heard the food call of at least 2 young of this species and saw one of them being fed by a ♀ adult. The site was one of low brush (Symphoricarpos sp., Rubus vitifolius, a young Quercus garryana) adjacent to a rather broad strip of grassland extending up thru the oak woodland toward the peak. The ♀ was collected [z # 53]. Aug.23 None could be located in this area. The ♂, if any was present at all, was not in evidence either day. Aug.25 Coyote Peak, 2800 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. An immature was collected on the N. side of the peak [illegible] as it flew up to the lower branches of a small Garry oak from the tall grass under it. Aug.31 (Lewis N) Willow Creek, 400 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. I collected one of several (♀ and young) present in the Umbellularia - Cottonwood-Willow - Walnut- Oak - and berry bush "woodland". They had been noted here for the previous 3 days also. a ♀ was seen feeding young here on the 28th. Sep.3 2½ mi. N Willow Creek, 500 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. I heard calling in open shrubland area (Manzanita - Oak - Madrone - Coffeeberry shrubs) between broad-leaved forest & open field on the E. side of Trinity River valley.
