June 11 - Victoria Redboro Bay. At Uplands is a large area of natural oaks (Quercus garryana?), of good size and growing openly park-like. This is certainly a very distinct association, for beyond a valley begins dense woods of totally different appearance consisting of Douglas fir chiefly, with some hemlock, madrone and big-leaf maple. As elsewhere about Puget Sound, the forest goes down to high-tide limit, except where boggy meadows lead back from the heads of bays. Took pencil census from 10:30 to 11:30. All song birds seem now to be in full song, so easily spotted. Practically every bird noted is thus probably a pair, thus representing a pair. Species as follows: Violet-green Swallow 11, Northwest Crow 15, Western Chipping Sparrow 16,
