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.
