R.J. Raitt 1956 Journal Sarbridge area, Elko Co., Nevada June 7 Nutcrackers very frequently and saw several. Audubon Warblers were singing and I shot one. I also shot a Western Tanager. Wright Flycatchers were also seen. Eutamias anoenus was seen and heard several times. At about 11 AM I started back to camp. My route was north along the ridge top until I reached the top of the open ridge north of Moore Gulch. I descended this ridge to the river and camp through cover almost entirely grass and herbs. In this grass I saw several Horned Larks one of which I shot at about the 7800-ft level. I reached camp at about 1 PM. The weather was cool in the early morning & at the higher elevations, but it warmed up and was quite warm by 10:30 or 11:00 and stayed very warm through the evening. At about 7:30 pm Ward and I went down the road a few hundred yards to where there are tall cottonwoods next to the road on one side and cliffs on the other. Bats were flying over the river close by and some were coming over the road and Ward got 3 and I, 2. Mine and 2 of Ward's look like Myotis veldans and the other of his is Myotis evotis. Cottonwood Creek, 5800+ ft., Elko Co. Nevada June 8 We arrived here at about 6:30 PM and set up camp. The location is where the O'Neil Basin road crosses Cottonwood Creek. The area is one of rolling sagebrush
