Gullion 1949 Myadestes townsendi -1- 4 mi NW Willows Creek, Sept 4 Brannan Mtn.. 3700 ft. Humboldt Co., Calif. 1 bird seen flying around the S slope of Brannan Mtn, and about 1/2 hour late I was able to collect 1 of at least 2 birds foraging on the south slope of the mtn. They were foraging in typical Pino-Eda Open Forest (see Journal p. 170) with several large Douglas Firs mixed in. This collected bird had just dropped to the to ground for forage in the fir-pine needle litter and had landed into a Manganita from which it was collected. Sept 7 Red Mtn., 5300 ft., 14 mi. S Hayfork Trinity Co., Calif. 1 bird collected from an upper twig of a small 250 sq foot stand of Prunus emarginata . I imagine that this bird had come to this clump with the intention of feeding on the few fruits still remaining of the several bushes. I saw it drop into a high tree, then drop to a lower Tree, and finally down into the bushes. Two deer came bounding out of this brush when I shot this bird.
