R.J. Raitt 1956 4 Journal Jarbidge, Elko Co., Nevada June 1 area on the way back I shot one (of) of a pair of Black- heated Grosbeaks. In a small willow clump at about 6700 ft., I shot another Vesper Sparrow. At about the same elevation where the spring is in a willow-aspen clump I saw Tolmie Warblers and a Flicker. At this same place Dr. Miller collected a pair of Hairy Woodpeckers. Here also I heard a Red-breasted Nuthatch. The rest of the day I spent skinning until about 4 PM. After dinner I walked down toward Jarbidge and shot a chipmunk (E. gaoenus) in a willow next to the road and a Green-tailed Towhee in an Amelanchier bush near the first house in Jarbidge. Several times during the day and more often during the evening, even when it was nearly dark, we heard and chased the Veery but nobody ever got a shot at it. It sings for a while but gives a high, sharp note several times when being approached and then it flies off, usually unseen. The weather during the day was changeable. It was chilly in the morning early but it warmed up soon and the sky was nearly clear, but thick clouds began to drift over about mid-morn- ing and it began to rain quite hard at about 3 PM. It rained only for a short time and then stopped, and before dark it was completely clear. During the evening we saw no bats, probably too cold.
