Albreath 1941 Went to Orick, California. roads were cleared of snow by the plows. At Clear Lake the ground was clear of snow in the afternoon, but it had been covered lightly during the morning. From Clear Lake to Weott the drive was made in the rain. Our first stop for the night was made at Weott at 8:00 PM. Dec. 28. The drive from Weott to Orick was made through intermittent light rain. Around Humbolt Bay in the pasture lands 15 to 20 American Egrets were observed, along with 6 to 10 Great Blue Herons. From Grucks to Orick we surveyed the country along highway 101. Due to housing conditions we located for collecting at a point 3 mi N of Trinidad at 3 PM. The time of us started out looking for birds. Returning at 4:30 I had shot three birds one Song and one Fox Sparrow, the third was a Downey Woodpecker. I was not able to bring the woodpecker in because he had him tight to the trunk of a Douglas fir 50 feet above ground when he was hit. Dec. 29. I started working up the west facing slope back of camp and soon found myself in a good tangle of down logs and brush. This area was burned over during the fire of 1936 that swept to the Oregon line. Previous to the fire however the area had been thoroughly logged, leaving only poor Douglas firs and
