Guillain 1949 Phalaenoptilus mutellii -1- Sept 5 Red Mtn., 14 mi. S Hayfork, 5300ft. Trinity Co., Calif. 1 bird collected about 7:30 p.m. on the crest of the saddle between Dubabella and Red Mtn. The bird was apparently resting in a mass of Ceanothus cuneatus or in a small Jeffrey Pine. As I approached the bird, imitating it, the bird flew out to meet me, circling around me 2 or 3 times and then settling on the ground less than 20 feet from me, when it remained while I shifted to a lower ammunition charge. Sept 7 same locality - Last night I heard a poorwill calling - it sounded as tho it came from the same general area from which I collected the above bird.
