Androsi 1949 Passerella iliaca -1- Sept 9 Red Mtn, 5300 ft., 14 mi. E S Hayfork, Trinity Co, Calif. 1 bird collected on the west of the ridge just S of camp (7:15 a.m.). The bird was foraging on the bare ground between fairly widely spaced Caesothus cuneatus bushes. It flushed onto the top of one of these bushes under a 20 foot Jeffrey Pine. The ground has a few junio nailos scattered around and a few dried up tufts of grass, otherwise it is bare dirt with many rock outcrops. The Caesothus bushes are all low, heavily browsed by deer with much dead material in them, forming (1 1/2 foot high) a low, spreading dense canopy with lots of edge. Also a little Brewer Oak and Brown-berry Manzanita in the area. The sun did not get to this area until 7:45 am. 1/2 hour after the bird was active. (The Poorwill I took the first night here had been calling from this vicinity before it flew down to meet me). A second one was collected (without a smashed bill) from the open slope a little further up the ridge. This bird had also been foraging among Caesothus cuneatus bushes away from any pines, and popped up on one to chip, it flew from one to another, and finally was collected from the top of a Brown-berry Manzanita. The sun had been on this slope for only a few minutes. - Notes - after todays hunting I see why we had
