142 August 5 - 1916 San Diego Trip Aug. 6 - 8 a.m.: Left Berkeley on Owl last evening. Now at Newha for Angeles Co. Coming down Soled Canyon have seen: Bluejay (elf), at least 6; Killdeer 1; Mourning Dove (at least 15 - plentiful). County looks fine, even the annual plants are yellows, save for blossoming composites (sunflower etc.). It occurs to me that a critical survey would be useful along the west side of Antelope Valley where the upper Santa juniper belt blends or runs into the Upper Sanoran digger pine belt. Correlation of zones could be determined. Camps: see "Aquatic Life" for article by Ruthling on water-dog On the "Wild Birds' area", 690 East Orange Grove Ave., Pasadena
