Feb. 16 Sagehen Creek, Calif., to Ravine Mtin., Nevada, to Berkeley, Calif.
arrived at Berkeley at 2 A.M.
The total loot for the trip was: 11 dead birds &
46 alive. Of the live ones 11 died in captivity in the
days immediately following (4 on Feb. 17, 3 on Feb. 19, 1 on
Feb. 20, 1 on Feb. 23; 1 on Feb. 24 & 1 on Feb. 26). Two
of these were given to Ward Russell to make skeletons
(those from Feb. 20 & 23, both tephroctis head type).
Littoralis was the prevalent race: 6 of those shot, 5 died later
& 20 remained alive for a total of 31 littoralis.
Tephroctis head type: 4 shot; 6 died later, & 15 lived making
25. Else
One bird that was shot had much of his head removed
but it appears to be littoralis.
