Banks 1959 Journal Trip to collect White Crowned Sparrows June 7 Left Berkeley today Sunday, 7:20am. Went up Rt. 101 to Arcata, Rt. 299 to Willow Springs, then to Hoopa, then "cross-country" on logging roads to Coyote Leah, my first stop. But on the way at Weott, 150+ft, Humboldt Co., Calif. - heard White-crowns - see species account. This valley, containing the So Fork of the Eel River, seems more or less continuous all the way to the coast at Eureka. The birds could have gotten here south thru this series of valleys, or up the So. Fork of the Eel. June 7-8 Coyote Leah, 3000+ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. - got here just barely in time to set up camp get supper before dark. Here is clean, except for some fog over a nearby valley. Next day (8th) up early, to get my first good look at the area. [My map is Coyote Leah quad., 15 min. cops. Engis, 1952] The bald area here is just that - the top of this ridge is devoid of trees, except for a scattered clump of Garry (?) Oak. Just down slope to the east, and on E on the road toward Hoopa , is an extensive burned & logged area. There are many charred, dead Redwood(?) maps, & the ground is littered with fallen trees & logs. The ground is grass & herb covered, but there is little brush. Maple & tan Oak seedlings are coming in clumps, 1-3ft. high, but
