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.
