Culbreath 1942 Jan 1. 3 mi No. Trinidad, 300 ft Humboldt Co., Calif myths swablin was collected. Tracks of deer on th sand and numerous trails coming down to the beach indicate that the deer do frequent this beach. At 11 PM two great- horned owls were heard calling from the tall timber back of camp. Attempts was made to call them in but all they would do was talk. Jan 2. At 8:30 I looked over my trap line that was set out Dec. 31. This of the traps contained Reithodontomys but the specimens had been destroyed by shrews. 3 traps contained Oromyces and one trap set on the edge of the rushes along a flooded part of pasture contained a Sorex lendirii #59♀. About 11 AM a Goshawk was seen soaring and flying over the tall timber back of camp. Jan 3. Departed from camp at 7:30 and headed north to Big Lagoon by car. We arrived along the north shore just before eight o'clock. The sun had not then come over the top of the mountain. All of the ground was frost covered and many small puddles were frozen. I walked from th end of the bridge, highway 101 to the east along the north shore. The Ruddy and Scotis tilcks were numerous in the deep water. A few Canvas-Backs and Grebes and Brandt Cormorant
