R. J. Raitt 1956 8 Journal Jarbridge, 6100 ft., Elko Co., Nevada June 3 catcher from a cottonwood, one Tolmie Warbler, from a willow and a Fox Sparrow from Amelanchier thicket. Later at about 6 PM I shot a singing male Fox Sparrow from the willow thicket a few feet from camp. In the evening when the sun left the valley there was a great deal of song activity by Fox Sparrows, Warbling Vireos, Yellow Warblers, Swainson Thrushes and the Veery. The Veery was singing quite frequently from both above and below camp. We pursued it at length without success and finally Dr. Miller shot it in the willows very close to camp. The weather during the day was very changeable. Early in the morning it was cloudy and rained a few drops, then it cleared, then it clouded over again and rained a little, cleared again, clouded again and rained and hailed for a short time in mid afternoon and then cleared for the rest of the evening. Jarbridge area, Elko Co., Nevada June 4 Arose at the same time again this morning. Dr. Miller and I took the truck up the road to where the bridge is out near the turn off of the Con Creek Road. We had trouble getting the truck past a mudhole where part of the river runs down the road; so we didn't leave the truck until 7 AM.
