many small larvea which alarmed me by their numbers.  Before I could ID them
the ground-feeding birds (like tohees, maybe) scratched up the duff and ate
them.  Never found out if these worms were something beneficial or harmful
for my plantings, but they sure benefited the tohee.



Do you mean Towhee, as in Rufous Sided Towhee or Green Tailed Towhee?

Rufus Sided is a beautiful bird with an equally beautiful early morning song.
