R.J. Raitt 1956 30 Journal Thomas Creek, 7600-7800 ft., Ruby Mts., Elko Co., Nevada June 16 had just passed from the upper edge of the thicket I flushed a Talmic Warbler off of a nest in a sagebrush. The nest contained 5 eggs. The bird remained in the near vicinity giving sharp notes at intervals of a few seconds. She remained well concealed and kept moving so that I was not able to collect her. I did collect a Talmic Warbler who approached the nest area singing. The bird returned to the nest once while I was within a few yards (3 or 4) but sitting quietly. I ascended about 200-300 ft. in elevation up the steep north slope using a slide of large granitic boulders containing Amelanchier bushes and other tall shrubs. In this area I saw 2 or 3 Eutamias amoenus and collected one. I also saw an Orange-crowned Warbler. In a higher more extensive area of the rock slide I heard Pikas calling. I shot at one but couldn't find then I squealed another one up and shot it. In this same area I shot a Western Flycatcher from an Amelanchier bush. I then worked easterly (upstream) along the canyon wall at about the same level through rock slides containing scattered Amelanchier and Mountain Mahogany and the slides separated by strips of sagebrush several yards wide. I heard several more Pikas and shot another one. Then I entered a rather thick stand of Mountain Mahogany and Juniper in which I heard several birds but saw only a Chipping
