The taking of an adult White-crowned Sparrow today,
with brown-crowned immatures in the vicinity, brings
doubt as to the identity of the considerable numbers
of zonotrichias here -- since an adult Intermediate
(gambeli) was also taken. I was under the impression
all were of the latter race until today. Saw at
least 3 Tanagers (Western) today, in cascara bushes;
also 3 Solitaires, and tonight heard the "creak" note.
Bluebirds are as numerous as ever, possibly more
so; and there is the chance now that northern
"occidentalis"(?) have come in, along with such winter
visitants as solitaires and Sierra juncos.
6480 Eutamias merriami (female sign) 58.2g. 232x99x35x15} in rat traps
6481 Eutamias merriami (female sign) 60.4. 223x100x33x14} at boulders
6482 Eutamias merriami (female sign) 67.4. 228x100x35x14} and cascara bushes.
6483 Solitaire (female sign) im. 37.2g., fat. Shot in Cascara bush.
Oct 11
6484 Scapanus (male sign) 37.3g. 141x30x18. Caught in "modified
Macabee" set in surface run in sandy ground under
litter of pine needles twigs and cones, under pine.
6485 Wren-tit (female sign) ad. 13.5g. Shot in cascara bush} mates
6486 Wren-tit (male sign) ad. 16.0g. Shot in manzanita near-by}
6487 Solitaire (female sign) im. 38.2g, fat. Shot on stub, to which it
flew from a cascara bush; two berries of same in gullet.
6488 Townsend Junco (male sign) ad. 16.9g. Shot off of boulder.
6489 Townsend Junco (males sign) ad. 19.4g. Shot off of stump.
Both up in hillside chaparral. Juncos now scarce; only
adults left. Ims. and (female sign female sign) have emigrated(?) -- down-hill?
