Luscinia svecica (sp)
6 August Jago Lake
Along a dense willow thicket
growing over the drainage out of
"Upper Lake" I heard the unmistak-
able call notes of the blue-throat.
There were at least three individuals.
We finally approached the edge of the
thicket about 20 yds from me and
through the limbs I could see
it was an adult in deep yalt. Most
of the vivid blue of the throat
was gone.
7 August Jago Lake.
In the same area as above when
I approached, I saw a blue-throat
sitting in the spruce rock ca
20 yards from brush. On seeing me,
it flew immediately into the thicket
and gave some call notes. Traps and
a net set in this area, so far have
failed to catch a blue-throat. I am
sure this recent represent a considerable
eastward extension of the known
range, and a specimen is desirable.
20 August Jago Lake - Today, after I had begun
seriously to doubt the correctness of my
earlier night records, a fine juvenile was
caught in the mist net by "Upper Lake."
