General Comment
Top of Aubrey Cliffs, 6500 ft., 15 mi. NW Seligman,
Coconino Co., Ariz.
May 28
Stopped here for lunch while
on prospecting trip with truck.
Rich timbered Upper Sonoran - good
soil - heavy forest of juniper &
pinyon, grass and abundant
wild-flowers in clearings. Tops
of a high-land, fairly level country.
Hunted with slingshot - many
W(?) Bluebirds - found one
nest in hole near bottom of
juniper - several young inside
calling. Chippys abundant -
1 collected for identification - singing.
Mockers & grey vireos abundant
& singing as were Black-throated
Grey Warblers (all these in the forest).
Heard 2 Hairy (perhaps Downy
Woodpeckers, & a Bewick Wren
(singing). Several White-breasted
[illegible] Nutatches heard & seen. Need.
Vireos attracted very close by owl
calls - in pairs. Several
Ash-throated Flycatchers seen - alarmed
about nest tree. Of particular
interest were the grey Flycatchers, which
were abundant (See species acct.)
