"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.
