Julio 1949 Journal 147 Aug 21 French Camp, 3100 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. - these two conifers constitute practically the only vegetation. The ground is mostly bare with many stony areas. In some places a little Golden-cup Oak grows in low shrub form. Incidently, I heard a Western Flycatcher in the little draw containing the stream. Returned to camp, shinning the days to be, which kept me busy until supper time. Wanted to set a Trap line down along todays route but didn't have time. Aug 22 same locality - while in camp this morning I collected a Red-breasted Sapsucker. Also took of some photos - used polaroid lens with Koda Chrome on ridge S of camp. Light reading said to use f 8 at 1/50 - for first two shots used 1/25 but for the last used 1/50 - both at f 8. Took a panchromatic shot using red filter of fog in valley to S, and with green filter - of ridge to the S. Lots of Crossbills and Steller Jays in the vicinity this morning. Also heard a Robin and what sounded like a Bluebird. - About an hour later I saw a Bluebird and heard it at the same time. - After lunch I started back over the last part of my yesterdays route- trying to find a lost sweater. Took 49 traps with me. Set 14 traps in
