Cogswell 1949 Journal 74 French Camp, 3100 ft., Humboldt Co. Calif. Aug. 19 (cont.) rock outcrops but are mostly grass & broken covered. The forest, usually Douglas fir, better meets them abruptly; or, further along the ridge to the SE, [illegible] there is a border of Savary oak woodland. This becomes most extensive in the vicinity of Coyote & Schoolhouse Peaks. Almost no birds were seen in the forest areas, but as we entered the Lyons Ranch area of the Bald Hills, there were at least 8 Sialis sparveria, several Cathartes aura, and a flock of about 65 Corvus corax, at Schoolhouse Peak, alt. 3082 ft., a pair of Sialis mexicana with several fledglings was seen. Inquiry at the lookout station on Schoolhouse Peak with water supply, led us to camp here, the only spot along the road which is not on land used for stock raising; we arrived, unloaded by 4:30 p.m. The vegetation at our camp is of small to medium sized Douglas fir, with some Incense Cedar (on serpentine rock), and much Tanbark Oak & a little Chinquapin. There is a small (60 x 200 yards +/-) grassy & sedge area across the road from us, with more open forest to the top of the ridge above it to the North. I set out 50 traps in the dry grass & along - within the border of this open Douglas fir - Tanbark oak forest. Watched for bats in evening. Saw 3; shot at none. Temperature after dark is not conducive to writing.
