Cogswell 1949 65+ Journal Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. Aug. 16 (cont.) as Vaccinium parviflorum, V. ovatum (few), Sambucus racemosa. The location is about ½ mi. NE of N. end of the highway bridge, near a site occupied as a camp by Dr. Miller & Ward Russell in Sep., 1943, (See #6 on map). Most of the traps were within the underbrush, often on a carpet of [illegible] a few more along an old logging road & a few around a small clearing (the old camp site). I saw one shrew near the old camp site. Aug. 17. The catch in the above trap line was : * Sorex pacificus - 3 within the understory & 1 on edge of clearing * Sorex trowbridgi - 1 * Peromyscus maniculatus - 1 ad. ♀, 1 im. ♂ Starting at 8:30 a.m. I walked from the junction (½ mi. N. of N end of bridge) of the highway, & the road which runs up & along the W. slope of the first ridge east of the lagoon, follow- ing this road to the short-cut road which connects it with the highway at about the middle of the lagoon. This is the route covered by car on the last 2 days. Going afoot I was able to listen for brushland birds, hoping to find some scrub Jays, Berries Wrens, or Towlees. None of these were found, but a count of the birds seen or heard was kept & is tabulated below. at 10:05 I started down the short-cut road, reaching the highway at 10:18 & then proceeded S. along it until I could cross the steep slope to the W. To reach the lagoon.
