Barbe 1959 Journal May 13 Mendocino Co. coast, Calif. - On return, drove back to Albion (see notes on Zonotrichia leucophrys for this weeked). Altho I saw no birds (White-crowned) between Mendocino and Albion, I feel from second look that there is a little habitat available, and that a scattering of birds could live in this area, but they must be scattered widely. Drove from Albion 5 to Elk, saw birds along the road. There seems to be better habitat here - more brush. May 24 Prosser Cr., 5600 ft., 1 mi. S., 2 mi. E Hotat Mills View, Co. Calif. Arrived here about 9 A.M. with Ned K. Johnson. The area is a junction of sagebrush and second growth Jeffrey Pine. Ned worked the pine to the East for Empidonax. Prosser Creek has a wide valley here - the stream is 30-35 ft. wide here, 1 1/2 ft. deep (probably). It is bordered with grass, mainly, with scattered low (4 ft.) willows and willow thickets. I worked downstream mainly, starting about 3/4 mi. from where the stream crosses the road. The willows seen thicks upstream, toward the road, where there were several fishermen. The slopes of the low valley (10 ft. slope) are sparsely covered with Sage (Artemisia)
