June 14 Sunset Beach State Park, Coos Co., Oregon poor habitat. Besides the birds noted yesterday, have seen so far today: Pileated Woodpecker, Hummingbird, American Goldfinch, Turkey Vulture, Condor, Whin-chat, Black-headed Grackle, Raven & Crow both around camp. Also is a Golden-crowned Kinglet singing. Flicker. Linn's Shore Acres, 500 ft., Coos Co., Oregon - This is essentially the same location as the park; it is my collecting locality, mostly just outside the park boundary, on top of the ridge. The area here is as previously described - cut, brushy, and in addition it has been burned. On top of the ridge, behind the quarry (on map) there are 3 old abandoned buildings. Barn Swallows are nesting here. The road, not on map, continues to the east. The valleys, or gorges (it is very dissected) still have some timber; mostly thick riparian growth, but occasional conifers. Back of the first ridge there are still some forested patches. Saw Band- tailed Pigeons, Purple Finch, and one female Ruffed Grouse. Saw one Garter Snake. Caught a Sterrhonotus, but it escaped. June 15 Spent until 5 p.m. today putting up the birds I shot yesterday p.m. Spent from 6:30-9:30 p.m. in the field, in this same area - got, all told, 4 more White-crows and a Pine Siskin.
