Banks 1960 Journal June 11 Hat Creek Valley, Shasta C. Calfi - of W.B. Smith, elev. 3560 ft. Along the creek were large growths of alder, willow, + cottonwood. Nice looking area, but no Zonotrichia. Mrs. Smith is a sort of bird watcher, + I talked to her. She sees White-crowned n warbler. Here I saw Crow, Brewer Blackbird, Say Sparrow, Yellow Warble, Western Meadowlark, Robin, Western Bluebird, Warbling Vireo, + Amer. Goldfinch. There was an oryzel (dipper) nest over the stream, right in their yard. Drove on to McCland, + Mt. Shasta city, then up to the ski bowl. Finally found the road to Sand Flat + Panther Meadow. Road is blocked by down trees at Sand Flat, where I made camp at 8:30. Set 5 mouse traps. June 12 Sand Flat, 6800 ft., Mt. Shasta, Siskiyou Co., Calf. Am just on edge of Shasta quad, USGS, 1954. Am on SW slope of Mt. Shasta. Had 3 Brompes in my traps this morning. Mosquitos + flies are bad. But a late start this morning, since I had to finish setting up camp. Went out in the woods early. About 9 all was quiet - I sat on a log and sang pyzing owl calls. Soon Mt. Chickadees, Red- breasted Vth Hatch, Western Tanager, B.Creeper, Andulua Warble, and Campodacus sp. were in the trees near me. Also junco. Didn't get a lot done today. The forest here is fairly open, very tall trees - 100 ft. Many of the birds stay high in the tops of them. Giving Proud calls is the best way to get them, + then only a few species come.
