June 26 Iqabin Falls Provincial Park, Vancouver Is, B.C.
Late in afternoon after the rain, took a
short drive and walk. Saw White-crowned
Sparrow 1/2 mi. away, Stained one. Saw:
Pileated Woodpecker, Sooty Grouse L.(1),
Egg Sparrow, Olive-sided Flycatcher, White
Wren Yellowthroat. These were not
within the park, but about 1/2 mi E. In
morning returned to same area, saw
Audubon Warbler, Chipping Sparrow, and
caught a Geriflorio.
June 27 11 1/2 mi W Parksville, Vancouver Is., BC - This is
the locality where I got the Zonotrichia and
Geriflorio yesterday. Revisited the area
this morning, got another White-crown, and a
Thamnophis. When I awoke the sky was
clear & the sun was shining. While collecting,
a storm moved in from the west - when I got
back to the car it was sprinkling, and at camp,
1/2 mi. away, raining quite hard. Now 10am,
still raining hard. Rained till noon. After
lunch I took a drive across the island to
the Alberni area, going as far south as possible
to the edge of Port Alberni, and north almost to
Gheat Central. Across the island is big and
large wooded, but the Alberni Valley has
a lot of clearing and a fairly large population.
Tried to stop at couple places on way back,
