Banks 1959 Journal 12. June 9 Coyote Peak, 3000+ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. - The fog turned to mist and the mist turned to rain. All vegetation was dripping wet this a.m. The dawn seemed like a good omen, and it threatened to be a good day. I started out collecting, but it soon started to rain. So I packed up and left. Went out to Rt. 101. This is a better approach to this area - part of the road is paved, sort of. The junction at Rt 101 is not marked, and after a bit it doesn't look like much, but it gets better until entering the bald area. New birds today were Band-tailed Pigeon, Flycatcher, and some sort of Swallow. Saw Barn Swallow on way out. 3 1/2 mi N, 1 mi W Fort Bragg, sealed, Del Norte Co., Calif. Here at a new area. Arrived about 2 p.m. Am camped on the Jepson ranch-dairy. There is an old road that once led to a ferry, but now is not used. My tent is right in the middle of it, under a Redwood. It's very shady + cool, out of the wind, not too many bugs. The place is a paradise for birds. Took a walk after supper (put up this morning's birds in the pm.) and saw: Russet-backed Thrush - very abundant, singing everywhere, Robin, Black- headed Grosbeak, Amer Goldfinch, Western Flycatcher, Morning Dove, Song Sparrow, Barn Owl, Horned Owl (see account) Chestnut-backed Chickadee, Turkey
