Various native sparrows are common in fall, feeding on grass and weed seeds. c) Shrub stratum.—-On the young cotton woods we find the crab- spider (Philodromus alaskensis), often with its appendages stretched out on the petiole or midrib of a leaf. The animals feeding on the cotton- wood here are few. In early spring the willow blossoms are frequented.
