Banks 1959 Journal June 8 Coyote Peak, 3000 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. There is no sign of seedling conifers. The whole area is dissected with roadless logging roads - it is really a mess, hard to walk in. But I spent most of my time there, since that's where the White-crowns are. On the N slope, below the bald, is forest - mostly oak, apparently, but I haven't been down there. The bald itself is grass, with some short Brache, some clematis type vine, low lupine, etc. It's very extensive. Bogher burnows are abundant. Birds today - W Meadowlark, very common on the bald; Mourning Dove, a few pairs; Sayali Bunting, common in the barn; White-crowned Sparrow, Robin, Stellar Jay, Calif. Juncal, a covey of about a dozen, plus a few pairs, Cowbird, House Wren, Western Wood Pewee, Olive-sided Flycatcher, Chipping Sparrow (a few) Junco (a few) Western Bluebird, I think, Sparrow Hawk, Turkey Vulture, Raven 2 White-throated Swift. Last night heard a Scream Owl. Shortly after noon, the fog came rolling in - esp. 5 of Coyote Peak, & between C.P. & Schoolhouse Peak, it really billowed but quite cool. It was foggy all afternoon, and about 5 p.m. it was a mist. Now at 6:30 it's foggy + wet, I guess it will stay that way. [illegible] cold, too. Also saw Sapsuckers.
