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.
