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.
