Orn 1932 5 mi SE Millet P.O., Nye Co., Nev. 88 May 21, 1932 They told us at the ranch that high water and snow would present our travelling more than a mile or two up the canyon. The pinyon was not exceptionally large we were told, nor were there any oaks growing on the north end of the mountains. After noting the birds about this place we went over to Manhattan, procured gas and came home to cabin 5 miles south of Millet. Day very cold in every locality we have been in. May 22, 1932. This morning I spent several hours out in the sage-brush and Tetradymia country west of camp. Finally credit to yellow- headed Blackbird pond 1 1/4 miles north of cabin. Snow covering all the mountains this morning. A far greater number of birds were seen out this mid-morning today than any day since we have been here. Specimens collected May 20, 1932 at 7 mi.
