Gullion 1949 Journal. -125- Aug 12 Big Lagoon Humboldt Co Calif - I collected 1 Western Sandpiper then cut back across the island towards its SW corner - 2 Yellow-legs came over but I didn't get them. Flushed 4 American Bitterns out of the mixed Scirpus, Eleocharis, Carex vegetation covering the island. Finally left the island, wading across the New Mouth near its junction with Cross Channel - then cutting back to hit shore on S side of Cross Channel - cut on into the Scirpus towards the Log Pond - came across a duck pond - scattering about 50 Mallards and Pintails. A single Red-billed Teal stayed on the pond - cut from there on thru the tangled Scirpus to the log pond. As I was going after the Pswitches an Osprey was seen resting on a sand bar in the middle of the Old Mouth. Aug 13 same locality - went over my trap line this morning, got one Sorex pacificus and one Sorex Trowbridgii. On the way over to my traps I found a flock of about six Savannah Sparrows
