General Comment
Mill Creek, Wash. July 25-6
much louder sweeter more varied.
Perhaps a Red-eyed Vireo.
1 mi E & 5 mi S Dixie, 4300 ft. Walla Walla Co. N.W.
Found MVZ Camp here at July 26 1939 noon Johnson, Levis Chatrii, Hooper,
& Longhurst. They had trapped here
the evening before, & today, Hofmeister
took a Golden-crowned Kinglet.
Weather hot; calm, clear. Densely
forested country near the summit of
the Blue Mts - which are more like
rolling hills than mts. Heavy
forest of Englemann spruce, Doug fir,
red fir, larch. Some yellow pines
lower & on exposed warmer slopes.
Spring in every canyon. Impatient,
almost tropical green undergrowth of
vines & herbs. In the afternoon
I collected around camp the following:
Chestnut-backed Chickadee - very abundant
HaBlack-capped Chickadee - one only seen
Golden-crowned Kinglet & common
Permit Thrush --- just - only one seen.
I heard other birds, & saw them:
Red-breasted Nuthatch
Mt. Chickadee - in song-very abundant.
Juncos. - common.
