Banks 1961 Journal 3 Apr.23 Old Creek, Cayucos, San Luis Obispo Co., Calif. itself, I should say the shore, is inaccessible. Heard birds occasionally along this road (Rt. 1) but no place where I could shoot. Here at the S end of Cayucos, in a "trench" left on E side of road led, near cemetery there is considerable brush and nearly a piece of bushy pasture. Birds seen here: Redwing, Amer. Goldfinch, Calif. Wail, Linnet, Spotted Towhee, White-Crowned Sparrows, W.Weedseal, Morning Dove, Brewer Blackbird, Brown Towhee, Cliff Swallow, Killees, Anna Hummingbird, and Sparrow Hawk. Took 2 white-crowns here. 5 mi. (by rd.) N Cayucos, San Luis Obispo Co., Calif. White- and Golden-crowned Sparrows along road here; migrants apparently mixed with a pair of breeding White-crowns. Took one bird (922 - locality catalog taken from map) which was not breeding. 4 & mi N, 1/2mi N Cayucos, San Luis Obispo Co., 150ft., Calif. Spent 2 hours here, collecting White-crowns. This area is a narrow strip of coastal scrub, rather dense, about thigh high. Other than White-crowns, saw: Sawana Sparrow, & Goldenege, Linnet, Allen Hummer, Amer.Scate, Redwing, Crowet, Amer.Goldfinch, and Western Gabe. Santa Barbara Co., Calif.
