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).
