Calbreath 1942 Jan. 11. 1/2 mi. S.E. Willow Creek, 600 feet, Trinity Co., Cal. Song Sparrow, Winter Wren and Hermit Thrush. The Hermit, Winter Wrens and Song Sparrows are not in as great numbers here as along the coast. Occasionally I have seen the Great Blue Heron along the river. In the ranch just north of Comp owned by Mr Gerard, the bears and deer are reported to do great damage to the fruit trees. The bears have caused considerable trouble at times by breaking branches out of the fig trees and the others browsing has killed or injured a good portion of the trees. The Trinity river is now down some 15-20 feet below its flood levels and good sandy spots are exposed along the shore line. In places particularly on the bends of the river large areas of river boulders are exposed between the sand and the water. Along the river banks animal tracks are numerous. On the order of abundances the tracks were found like this, Otter, Coon, Skunk, Great Blue Heron. This was one other track that was tentatively unidentified. All of the birds collected today were taken in a thin Douglas-fir block oak island.
