Gulloni 1949 Hylocichla mustelata - 1 Aug 30 Willow Creek, coast Humboldt Co., Calif. - 1 animal collected in a California Coffee-berry in the typical Brush Bottom (see journal p. 165). This bird had probably been feeding previously on the abundant ripe Black berries that so many more of the birds are working on & Vermit Thrushes are also in this area now as the two species are together here, in the same habitat, and often only a few feet apart. This condition is surely a result of the abundant local food supply. Summary Northwest Coast Transit Calif. - Dusset-backed Thrushes were seen in the lower elevations for the most part. At Big Lagoon and Willow Creek, along the stream courses these birds were frequently regularly observed, at French Camp, they were scarce, only 1 record, and now were noted at Red Mtn. These birds thus were mostly in the broad leaved woodlands at the lower elevations not inhabited by the Vermit Thrush.
