Aug 30, 31 (3/4 mi. N) Willow Creek, 400 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
several were heard - a few seen in the same
shrub areas as the last few days. (river bottom)
Sep. 3 2 1/2 mi. N Willow Creek, 500 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
about 10 individuals (estimated) seen or
heard among the tall shrubs of manzanita,
coffeeberry madrone, - oak in the
shrubland border between the oak-madrone
forest and open fields of the Battrason Ranch.
Most of them were in molt, at least 2's
being seen with the head over half white
due to abundant pin feathers.
Sep. 7 (2 1/2 mi. NNW) Red Mtn., 5300 ft., 14 mi. S Hayfork,
Trinity Co., Calif.
I heard repeatedly, glimpsed
briefly, in the densest portion of the Larvy
oak shrubland on the S facing slope of the
ridge top here. It would not respond to a
call.
Sep. 9 (2 mi. N by W) Red Mtn., 5300 ft., 14 1/2 mi. S Hayfork,
Trinity Co., Calif.. I heard one calling.
(saw the branches moving where it retreats)
in the manzanita "chaparral" as in an opening
of the pine forest on a saddle of the ridge
here. Mullion had just shot at a bird
of this species here - failed to find it.
