Calbreath 1942 Jan 12. 1/2 mi. SE. Willow Creek, 600 ft. Trinity Co., Calif. in its flight down the river. Brush rabbits were observed along the truck near the river and about 50 yards from the river near the orchard a rabbit possibly a Jackrabbit was seen. In the evening I took Wad Russell to the area along the river where so many animal traces had been observed in the morning and we made live sets for shunks and Coons. During the afternoon while in camp I heard a lot of loud calls from the California Woodpeckers in the oaks close camp. There were eight or nine birds and they appeared to be paired off and attempting to mate. I observed these birds for a half hour and numerous attempts of the birds were observed. Jan 13. At 9AM I ran my traps lines to find the same species present, this was obtained yesterday but not in as large a percentage, by number. The live sets were also not taken undisturbed during the night. Yesterday I forgot to include that a Black Oxlock had been seen in the orchard near the river. I returned to camp early, picking up my traps this morning in order to clean up all the specimens collected yesterday.
