Gullion 1949 Vireo solitarius -1- Aug 27 3 1/2 mi. N Willow Creek, 2000ft., Humboldt Co. Calif. One foraging in mixed Golden-cup Oak Black Oak forest on the S slope of Walman Ridge. This bird avoided foraging in the Live oak, apparently preferring the deciduous Black Oak. Aug 29 Willow Creek, 400ft., Humboldt Co. Calif. I heard in the alders along the foot of tho hill W of the Trinity River, north of town. The same bird as others, was heard later near the river, in a Bay-English Walnut open woodland. Sept 7 Red Mtn., 5300ft., 14mi S Hayfork, Trinity Co. Calif. I was heard twice yesterday near the spring at camp in typical Fir-Pine-Cedar Open Forest (see Journal p. 180) and today about noon one was calling in the same type of forest just over the E slope on the saddle north of Red Mtn. Summary Northwest Coast Transect, Calif. - These vireos were recorded from all four camps. At Big Lagoon they were birds of the alders and willows along Maple Creek; at French Camp they were in Tan Oak forest, in Black Oak forest and deciduous stream bottom at Willow Creek. Only at Red Mtn were they encountered in conifer forests.
