Glidden Lakes, 5700 ft., Shoshone Co., Idaho.
July 24, 1932
a pair of Olive-backed Thrushes came about and became
very excited. Western Tanagers, Wright Flycatcher,
Cassin Purple Finches, Lohnie Warblers soon came
about, all grouping in the firs overhead or in the
dense vegetation and making a great deal of noise.
In addition there was a Red-breasted Nuttall's
a pair of Audubon Warblers. After I ceased calling
and the excitement subsided I heard of Fox Sparrow
singing nearby. This soon came when I squeaked, but
although I shot it I was unable to find it in the
dense undergrowth. Up on the other side of the canyon
I came across two adult (♂ + ♀) and a young Audubon
Warbler. The ♀ kept fluttering her wings over perches
in some willows for 5 minutes without lighting
once. She appeared to be trying to attract my attention.
The ♂ made a dart at the female several times
when it approached me. In the same willow
clump which was on a rocky ledge upon which
a few firs were growing a ♀ Townsend Warbler,
a pair of Lohnie and a pair of Calaveras Warbler's
and two Warbling Vireos were called. All were
seen in the same willow clump at the same
time. Olive-sided Flycatchers were quite
numerous on the open slope, being perched on
the tops of the dead trees. One pair became quite
excited over my presence, coming down low to the tops
of some 10 foot pines within 50 feet of me and
