Sept 6 Red Mtn., 5300 ft., 14 mi. S Hayfork, Trinity Co., Calif.
Trap along the last damp part of the spring area.
Collected a Chickaree on the way back along
my trap line, just a few dozen feet from
where I got the Cutamias. Shinned all morning
and most of the afternoon. Collected one of a gang of
Steller Jays by the water hole, and tried to
collect a Cassin Finch from a tall fir near
the water hole. When I checked my traps
about 5:30 p.m. I heard a Bear rummaging
around in the draw about 300 feet east of
camp.
Sept 7 same locality - Only this morning I collected
a Robin just west of camp (I heard) Boowill
calling last night from the general area that I
collected one) and heard a flock of Cedar
Warblings over head. A Tiledated Wood-
pecker was near camp calling and shortly
afterwards it began to rain. After putting
the tent up we went down the road to
the Red Mtn fire tower, looked around there,
and then dropped down to a spring
just west of there. Flushed a Blue Goose
near the spring going down, and a spotted
down from the same area coming up.
Noted very heavy deer use in that area,
with both Harry and Bruno Oak being
considerably turned back in addition to
