Culbreth. 1941 3 mi N. Trinidad, Humboldt Co., Calif. 300 ft. vegetation. All of the area is heavily populated now by the Winter Wrens and Song Sparrows. with good numbers of Winter Robins, Navy Woodpeckers, Ruby and Golden Crown Kingslets are also found but this population as more scatered. A small Lizard was noticed in the dry grass around one of the madowy places, but was not obtained. At the higher elevations where the burned timber is more heavy Coopers and Red-tail Hawks were observed. Feeding in the tops of Douglas Firs are numerous Kingslets. Dec. 30. The weather was rainy in the morning will clearing this in the afternoon. In the morning I walked about 1 1/2 miles north of camp along road an old logging trough an old logged-over area. The ground cover is principally a tangle of blackberries. Scattered through this area are numerous old Redwood and Douglas Fir snags. The birds were very inactive with only the winter wrens and song sparrows seen occasionally. The wrens are particularly attracted by any squeaking call and will come right up alongside of one on the trail. One, in fact, came so close he used the barrel of my gun for a perch. A pair of Red-tail hawks was heard in the tops of the snags calling backing and forth but not active.
