Troglohytes aedon Sept 9 Red Mtn, 5300ft, 17 mi S Hayfork, Trinity Co., Calif. - 10:10am. I heard scolding and a couple of minutes later Collected on a S facing slope. Vegetation consists of widely spaced Ceanothus cuneatus bushes with a few scattered Ceanothus integrifolius bushes. A couple of dwarfed Garry Oaks and several struggling Jeffrey Pines are the only trees. The bare spaces be- tween plants consist wholly of broken up Serpentine rock with no soil present. This bird had been foraging in C. cuneatus just before being collected. Another flew from a nearby shrub when I fired. Summary Northwest Coast Transect, Calif. - This wren was encountered at Big Lagoon, in a dense tangle of moist habitat brush at the base of a fallen Sitka Spruce and in the Red Mtn area, in Ceanothus cuneatus and C. cordulatus brush under or near a White Fir - Jeffrey Pine forest, on a dry, high mtn ridge. These two localities were the most contrasting of those seen on this trip, yet this wren inhabited brush areas in both. It probably was in the Willow Creek area but overlooked by us.
