5 mi. S Mt. Thielsen, 6200 ft., Douglas Co., Oregon
Oct
1932
June 16, 1932
Seen and heard over camp. A Junco was heard and
seen singing on top of a Lodge Pole Pine about camp,
Once at 11:30 a.m. and again at 12:15 p.m. This
one is probably the mate of one of the two I shot yester-
day just NW of camp 100 yards. At 4 p.m. a Red
Squirrel was seen calling in a Lodge Pole Pine by
camp. When I approached it ran up the tree from
the lower portion of the trunk and so well disguised
itself that I was unable to locate it. Chickadees were
seen near camp during the early part of the afternoon.
Blanchard shot a Crossbill this a.m. Blanchard also
shot a Cyanitis tounsandii in Hemlock & Lodge Pole Pine
this 2 m. It was up in a lower branch of a Lodge Pole Pine.
I refer it to this species due to its large size & dark coloration.
I left my traps out all day for chipmunks & squirrels.
2 Vermut Thrushes heard singing this evening at 6:50 p.m.
June 17, 1932
Cold and frosty this a.m., but clear and no wind blowing.
The traps left but yesterday contained 1 Peromyscus maniculatus
and 1 Callospermophilus. At 7:10 a.m. a Chipping Sparrow
was seen on edge of a small clearing singing from the
top of a Lodge Pole Pine. It faced the sun and every time
it trilled the tail vibrated up and down. Three others
were heard in vicinity up to 7:30 a.m. Near the sing-
ing Chipping Sparrows a pair of Evening Grosbeaks
were noted. They foraged quite actively in the outer
upper branches of a Lodge Pole Pine in a clearing.
