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
