Banks 1959 Zonotrichia leucophrys 21. June 14 Sunset Beach State Park, Coos Co., Oregon - From what I can see, the whole Coos Bay area is poor habitat. The area is described in my journal. I can hear at least 2 birds singing from my camp here in the park, and this a.m. heard 2 or 3 others in the logged area. Rain this a.m. stopped my collecting, but hope to go out this afternoon. Lmi. S Shore Acres, Coos C., Oregon 524 led me a merry chase before I was shot from a Hazel in this clear-cut brushy hillside. A bird had flushed from behind me, two flew and I got this one. Can hear one singing - tht - 3 -- . The & sounds like a low high slow note run together. Another in the distance is singing the same song. 525 + 526 were mates, shot on top of the ridge in the same type of habitat. She flushed as though from a nest, but I could not find it. 527 was singing from a Rhododendron, then flew to a 7' Douglas Fir (?). 528 was one of two birds giving the hard-to- locate "tset" sound. 529 was the other - I had to chase it for a long time before I got it from a stump with a half-head. 530 was a bird I had shot + lost earlier, & I got it again, I grappled & it ran, so I got only the tail, which came off. Finally got the rest of the bird.
