Oct 1932 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
