Passerculus sandwichensis - 2 -
Note: - 3 birds of the species were taken in the Big
Lagoon area on August 15 but no account
was made of them, except in the journal, pages
129 and 130. - Quoting from the journal,
"took 1 Savannah Sparrow in the pasture
just below the Maple Creek Bridge (N of the
log pond see journal p.124), then a 2nd
one in the Carex along the bank of the
first bend of the creek." "Collected a Savannah
Sparrow on the edge of a Carex stand" -
on the N edge of the "Island" near the "New Channel"
Summary Northwest Coast Transect, Calif. - These sparrows
were most frequently encountered at Big
Lagoon, being common or abundant among
the emergent marsh vegetation at the S end of
the lagoon, and being fairly common in the
pastures S and E of camp. None were recorded
at French Camp, but they were found again
in the agricultural fields on the valley floor
at Willow Creek. At Red Mtn., the
one bird taken was the only one recorded.
