Phillips 1949 Journal 187 Sept 13 Red Mtn., 5300 ft., 1/2 mi. S Hayfork, Trinity Co., Calif. In the draws between these ridges are areas of typical Fir- Cedar-Pine Open Forest. Working up the ridge I saw Two Pine Siskins fly overhead and heard a Green-Tailed Towhee in a nearby draw. Collected a Mantled Ground Squirrel from a rock outcropping and heard a Flicker calling down slope (I heard a Pileated Woodpecker near the spring mentioned above on the way up). Quite a string of warblers are passing over this morning. They are flying fairly high apparently because I have heard many but seen only two or three and they were too far off to identify. Working on up to the summit of South Dubahella I saw a Black-throated Gray Warbler and an Audubon's Warbler fly over the SW ridge of S Dubahella. About 1 p.m. I saw 3 Pipits on the barren slope just west of the summit and a Hummingbird (Colibri?) flashed along the forest edge on the N side of the ridge. Juncos were seen on the SW ridge not far below the crest. Lots of Sceloporus graciosus on the upper barren areas, some quite large and lots of small ones. Also very many grasshoppers. Saw two Cooper's Hawks chasing one another just below the lookout
