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
