Sitta carolinensis
Aug 21 French Camp 3,000 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
I collected from the side of a chinquapin
in a draw-(see Journal p. 148) on the
slope S of camp-perhaps [illegible] feet down the
slope from camp. The habitat is one of
moist hillside, with a few scattered
fire scarred Douglas Firs, with Western
Azalea, Alder, Tan Oak, Madrone and
Ocean Spray (Holodiscus discolor) as the
fairly open understory. I though I had
heard the bird earlier, but with several
Acorn Woodpeckers around making various
calls, I was not sure.
Aug 24 same locality - Two birds heard this morning,
one in the Tan Oak forest to the west
of the stream below camp (see Journal p.148)
and the other in the open Douglas Fir forest
to the east, close to the locality of the above
collected bird.
Aug 25 same locality - 1 bird was around camp for
a little while this morning.
Summary Northwest Coast Transect Calif.-These birds
were encountered only at French Camp
and at Red Mtn., both high ridge
localities in Douglas Fir - Incense
Cedar, Cedar habitat (at French Camp) or
White Fir-Jeffrey Pine forest at Red Mtn.
I only heard 1 at Red Mtn. however.
