R.E. Johnson 1967 Journal 25 June 18 Mt. Shasta, Siskiyou Co., California (cont.) loudly for some time, then flew onto the snow or dirt west [couldn't see]. Shortly it flew to same rocky ridge where I had collected 2 previous birds but downslope & worked its way upslope to point where last bird was collected, singing from the highest outcrops as it went (flying between at 3:55 PM locations). I collected it while it was chirping from the same high outcrop as the previous bird. It is a [illegible] littoralis also. There appears to be a general pattern of movements on this S. facing slope. Birds appear to fly cross-slope E-W and occasionally up & down rocky ridges before moving on cross-slope. The pattern & timing suggests the birds may be feeding to the west on the S. facing slopes & nesting in Mud Creek Canyon, since they would appear to spend little time in the canyon compared to on the slopes. Another feather found, probably from an Audubon Warbler. yellow white gray downy 2 inch Two other feathers with a fine pattern of brown & white throughout. Two inches long. Fine soft texture. No additional birds appeared between 3:55 PM & 5 PM and I returned via the route I had come without seeing any other birds. I was met by an unhappy ski lift operator who informed me that I had broken the law. Turns out you can't climb Mt. Shasta without registering according to county ordinance. They don't know who that
