3 mi. N Willow Creek, 700 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
Mtn Chickadee, Red-breasted Nuthatcher, a
Spotted Towhee, Turkey Vulture, Tree Swallows
and an Audubon Warbler. This last habitat
was found at about the 3500 foot elevation
on Bannan Mtn (4 mi #NW of Willow Creek)
and became more pure forest of this type, that
is with Douglas Fir dropping out, as we
approached the top. Earlier in the afternoon
an Acorn Woodpecker was heard in the Johnson
Prairie area, a Douglas Chickadee was collected
just down the stream bed from the lake at the
head of the east fork of Three Creeks. A
Sceloporus graciosus was taken in cut-over
area about 1/4 mile N of Johnson Prairie.
Found several trees of Western Yew (Taxus
brevifolia) in the Pure Douglas Fir Forest
just south of the lake at the head of the east
fork of Three Creeks. Saw old bear
tracks in the mud at this lake and fresh
der(Bobcat), cat, and raccoon tracks in the same
mud. Also saw fresh deer and bear
tracks in the dust of the road near the
summit of Bannan Mtn. On the
way down, we saw a lot of Port Orford
Cedar along Bannan Creek at the 7400 foot
elevation and saw at least 3 Mtn Quail
along the road just E of these. Also saw
