willow 1949 Chordeiles minor -1- Aug 10 Big lagoon Humboldt Co., Calif. - as the sun was setting 3 were feeding and calling high over the burned area E of camp (see journal p 116). Two were heard at the same time over the spruce forest E of camp. Several booms were heard but none observed - one of the three was an immature judging by the poor vocal qualities of it. Aug 18 same locality - just a single call heard this evening before dark - I bird someplace south of the camp area. Aug 30 3 mi N Willow Creek, 700ft., Humboldt Co. Calif. The last two evenings, from about 5:30p. to 7 p.m., I have heard what sounds like a large flock of migrating night hawks passing high overhead. I have not yet been able to see any of them. Aug 31 same locality - Heard the first group this evening about 4:30p.m., they seemed to be mostly E of Camp, circling over the headwater area of Coon Creek. Some also were heard out over the Valley about 4 miles N of Willow Creek. One was heard quite low E of camp, but most of them were so far away that I was just able to perceive them. Still have not been able to see any of them.
