They were composed of bark fibers for the most part. May
be nests of Chenaonys or Evotonys. Found a Ruby-

Hornet Thrushes heard singing between 8 &

Sparrow-Hawk, Audubon Warblers, Yellow Warbler,
Mountain Chickadee, Crossbill, Creeping Grosbeak,

small clearing. Saw two Seiurus Hudsonicus in fir
thickets. Their call is quite distinctly different

thrush down in thickets along the river. A bird was heard,
