June 8 In the evening I drove up to the meadows at 6 P.M. All birds quiet on the meadow. Struck thru timber & got a burnet & a russet-backed thrush in low fire on the open-timbered ridge between 2 meadows. Thrushes all singing. Out on the meadow there was a great chorus of bird song for about 10 min. (after sunset). Several yellow warblers, 2 Pileateds, many Tolmies Song Sparrows, Lincoln Sparrows, trail flycatchers, russet-backed thrushes. Soon all quiet. Went to another meadow & heard a few warbler songs then only Trails & R-b. Thrushes. Saw one bat, no owls (called Flamulated, Screed, Horned, & Spotted) left about 9 P.M. just as getting dark. Clear, calm.
June 9 clear, sunny, warm. Worked in the meadows with the owl. Got a mob of 2 Warbling Vireos, a golden-crowned Kinglet, a russet-backed thrush & 3 yellow warblers in a willow. Explored the remaining meadows to the northwest - they are less open & with denser, higher
