Hullman 1949 Melospiza melodia -1- Aug 13 Big Lagoon Humboldt Co Calif - I have seen these birds in all of the local habitats except the wide-open pasture and the densest Scirpus marsh. Yesterday they were common in the more open Scirpus clumps on the island by the mouth of Maple Creek (see found p 124) and today one was roosting in the Carex clumps along a quiet pool in the darkest, densest part of the Spruce Forest E of Camp (see found p 116) Aug 15 same locality - 1 taken in a mammal trap set under a wood fern on the soggy litter along a still pool in the deepest spruce forest E of camp. Aug 17 same locality - 2 birds were seen today along the W side of the S arm of the old mouth of Maple Creek (see found p 124). They were exceedingly brown, much more of a cinnamon color than any others I have seen. Two of the darker birds were feeding with them on a muddy clearing in dense Scirpus growth. Aug 29 Willow Creek 400 ft Humboldt Co Calif - Several birds seen among the blackberries in the Brush Bottom habitat (see found p. 165)
