Endicott 1949 Journal 144 Aug 20 French Camp 3100 ft, Humboldt Co., Calif. - Red-breasted Nuthatch from the lower branches of a large Douglas Fir. Returned to camp, skinned my two specimens. Then went down the slope below camp. Found a much more extensive Tan Oak Habitat in which (in a Douglas Fir Burn) the Tan Oaks are joined by Modone, Golden-cup Oak (Quercus chrysolepis), two Manzanita (Arctostaphylos glandulosa and Arctostaphylos patula ) & Chinquapin (Castanopsis chrysophylla). (The Tan Oak near Camp also has Cornus nuttalli and Berberis aquifolium among its undergrowth). Saw several Acorn Woodpeckers (missed one) and saw, heard and shot at but missed one Scrub Jay in this area. There were also several Steller Jays feeding in this area. Returned to camp empty handed. Left for dinner went with Murray and Pearson to a deserted ranch east on the Fullwood Ranch to the ridge to collect bats. This place was in the midst of a very extensive dense stand of Chinquapin. No bats were taken but I did get two large Bufo boreas. Aug 21 same locality - Ran my trap lines, got 1 dead Peromyscus and 1 live one. Sealed.
