R. J. Raitt 1956 26 Journal Lamoille Creek, 8800-9600 ft., Ruby Mts., Elko Co., Nev. June 13 I made my way up the bottom through the trees detouring to pass through most of the thicker stands. I reached the lower of the three Lamoille Lakes and then went west past the other two lakes and then back down along the face of the west wall of the canyon. White-Crowned Sparrows were common in the willows near the end of the road, on the west wall and where there were willow patches exposed on the floor clear up to the lakes (which were all frozen over and snow covered except for small patches of thinner or melted ice in their centers). Cassin Purple Finches, Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Warbling Vireos, Robins, Hermit Thrushes, Violet-green Swallows, Mountain Chickadees, Pine Siskins, Mountain Bluebirds, Audubon Warblers, Western Flycatchers and Juncos were seen in the pines, most of them through the whole area but the Juncos and Hermit Thrushes were mainly at the lower part and the chickadees high up. On the west wall in a low willow patch among rocks and melting snow banks I shot a 8 Leucosticte. Later I thought I saw a few more but could not collect them. We left the area at about 10:45 AM and returned to camp. In the higher meadows between camp and the end of the road we saw several Belding Ground Squirrels. In the pines at about 9000 feet in the upper canyon I saw several Chipmunks. On
