Yelloni 1949 journal -127 Aug 14 Big Lagoon Humboldt Co., Calif. and saw a Winter Wren. This area is ancient forest, mostly Douglas fir, but with much Redwood and Hemlock mixed in. Underbrush mostly Rhododendron, Blue Huckleberry, Chinquapin and some Salad. The forest was surprisingly devoid of animal life. We returned to the gap, left the car and worked the cut area south of the gap. Much of this area still has cut logs in it that have not been snaked out. About all that is standing are the smaller Redwoods and Douglas fir and the hemlock, plus several sizable trees of Chinquapin. Band- tailed Pigeons were flying overhead, Western Flycatchers calling, a Hermit Thrush, Crossbills, Pine Siskins, Hairy Woodpecker, Creepers. Returning to the car we found a road going south from the gap running right along the ridge. We went down to the upper part of a canyon where the road became too steep for the Chevy. Got out and hunted around. Only Red-breasted Nuthatches, Chestnut-backed Chickadees, and Golden-crowned Kinglets were heard
