Gullion 1949 Journal 162 Aug 27 3 miles N Willow Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co. Calif. for shelter, Oregon-Juncos, Chestnut-backed Chickadees and Hutton Violets in the surrounding can hear a Selasphorus hummingbird Douglas Fir forest (also mosquitoes). In the more moist (?) draws along this trail are slender, tall Broad-leaved Maples. Just a short distance below the place where the trail hits the crest of the ridge (2300 feet) I saw a Pileated Woodpecker and heard a Red- breasted Nuthatch. By time the trail reaches the crest of the ridge the Black Oak has pretty much played out, and is replaced by Tanoak, forming a forest about equivalent to the Pure Douglas Fir Forest of French Camp (see journal p. 143). The understory here is Tanoak, Madrone and Evergreen Huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum), also Dogwood (C. nuttalli). Along this area I flushed a 4 point Black- tailed Deer. This forest gradually changes from one in which Douglas Fir is dominant to one in which Tanoak develops into the trees fully as large as most of the Douglas Firs (2600 ft.). This I prefer to call Douglas Fir-Tanoak Forest. There is some Chinquapin and a little Madrone mixed in this forest. The understory is mostly young Tanoak and firs. Some Bracken Fern and a little Evergreen Huckleberry, Vac ovatum
