Right after I wrote the last note I
went out and shot a cedar waxwing from
a willow near the tent. And I also shot
a golden crowned sparrow which I had noticed
in the willows. I first noticed it when I
saw an unfamiliar movement.
Right after lunch Ray and I walked up
a canyon in which he had set some traps
for chipmunks. He caught nothing. I shot
a female ruby-crowned knight, a slender-
billed nuthatch and a ground squirrel.
I noticed many titmouses and nuthatches
together in the same set of blue oaks.
This evening I shot a female
Williamson sapsucker out of a blue oak
about 100 yds. from Basin creek. The sun
had already gone down. The makes all
three of the sapsuckers of the western U.S.
that I have shot here. I'll try to get the
male tomorrow. I also shot a sparrow-
hawk out of a blue oak tonight, after the
sun had gone down.
