Hullon 1949 Cyanocitta stelleri -1- Aug 11 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. - Shot one bird on S edge of Spruce Forest E of Camp (see journal p. 116). This edge is composed of a dense tangle of red elderberry Sambucus racemosa, alder Alnus rubra, and a willow Salix ? . The ground cover is mostly Salmonberry with a number of patches of nettle scattered thru. The Jay was in an elderberry when shot. There are many red berries on these Sambucus now. Aug 20 French Camp, 3100 ft, Humboldt Co., Calif. - 2 birds were seen feeding on the fruits of the Tan Oak Lithocarpus densiflora in the barn on the Ridge N of Camp. Their chattering as I approached warned off two Acorn Woodpeckers I should like to have collected. Aug 21 same locality - Jays of this species were common today in the Tan Oak habitat S of camp visited today. Aug 25 1 mi S Coyote Peaks, 3200 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. - Collected 1 bird today on the north end of this ridge. It was in a Broad-leaved Maple with the other components of a Fir-Maple Forest present (see journal p. 154).
