Pullian 1949. Vireo huttoni - 1 - Aug 11 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. - A heavily molled individual came down close in a bunch of alders about 100 feet in from the S edge of the Spruce Forest E of Camp (see your p 116). It remained silently about 10 feet from me while a group of about 20 Chestnut-backed Chickadees excitedly scolded close by. A Pale-stated Warbler ♂ at least one Golden-crowned Kinglet and a Nairy Woodpecker joined the mob. 9am. Aug 22 French Camp, 3100 ft, Humboldt Co., Calif. - I collected while foraging in a pure and typical Incense Cedar-Douglas Fir open forest. Our pretty poor plumage, and silently moving about (1:25 p.m.) Aug 27 3 mi. N Willow Creek, 700 ft, Humboldt Co., Calif - Saw 2 birds and heard / as 2 more on the west slope of Waterman Ridge. They seemed to be foraging in the Douglas Firs of a Mixed Forest and in the Firs in the Oak Forest (see ground p. 158-160) Summary Northwest Coast Transsect, Calif. - These vireos were seen at all three of the lower camps, always in association with coniferous forest. They were not recorded from the Red Mtn locality, which rather surprises me. Looked like good country, but maybe they don't go for White Fir - Jeffrey Pine forest.
