September 1949 Journal 145 Aug 21 French Camp, 3162 ft Humboldt Co, Calif. Traps were sprung. Took up my trap line. Also set out 10 traps last night lay holes in very rocky soil - no signs of trap work, none of the traps even at spring. Knocked down but didn't find a Crossbill, then got a Hermit Thrush in camp. Dropped down into the Tan Oaks below camp. Lots of Acorn Woodpeckers there. Saw a dull plumaged Hermit Warbler, missed a shot at an Olive-sided Flycatcher, collected one of two Wren-tits and saw 3 Band-tailed Pigeons overhead. Also heard and saw Robins and Flickers. Saw a Brush Rabbit on the break of the ridge. The Douglas Fir Burn habitat - is considered to include only the dead burned snags of the fir trees - the understory is considered under the Tan Oak loading. Dropped on down the ridge - saw a bright Hermit Warbler foraging in the tan oaks, had 3 Turkey Vultures soaring close overhead, collected two Sceloporus occidentalis on a dry rocky sparsely grassed slope. Saw a flock of 7 Pine Siskins in the top
