Journal Sept 7 Red Mtn., 5300 ft., 14mi S Hayfork, Trinity Co., Calif. - through (Incidentally I collected an Orange-crowned Warbler just south of the Red Mtn Lookout earlier today). Working down into the saddle just north of Red Mtn., I called up two lots of 15-20 Mountain Chickadees and a small group of Red-breasted Nuthatches. Heard a White-headed Woodpecker and collected it and then found a spring and water tanks nearby. Found the carcass of a drowned [Screech?] Owl in the water tanks, then went up hill to the spring, cleared out the intake pipe and now this spring is running much more water into the tank than the one at camp does. Returning to the tanks I found a Hybza regilla clinging to the inside of the tanks - collected it. Went on up onto the open ridge, saw a Brown Towhee fly into some brush and collected a Green-tailed Towhee nearby. Saw several more Beechy Ground Squirrels but was not able to take any. Worked around to W side of the next hill, collected a Sceloporus occidentales under some young pines, and a little further on took an Audubon Warbler in some manzanita. Returned to camp. Sept 8 same locality - Left camp in afternoon, dropped over ridge S of camp to basin on NW side of the next hill. Saw 2 Beechy Ground Squirrels
