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.
