R.J.Raitt 1956 34 Journal Lamoille Canyon, Ruby Mts., Elko Co., Nevada June 18 Mountain Mahogany and Juniper and Amelanchier surrounded by sagebrush which is the dominant vegetative form of the north side at that elevation. I saw only one Robin, one Broad-tailed Hummingbird, one Green-tailed Towhee which was singing. The weather was clear and quite warm and the birds seemed quite inactive. At about 2:00 Gordon Gullion came along and we drove up canyon a ways and crossed Lamoille Creek on the road into Lamoille Scout Camp. We worked for a while on the south side in very dense, lush growths of aspen, Amelanchier and numerous herbs but saw and heard only several Warbling Vireos. At about 3:30 we left for Elko where we bought groceries and ate dinner. On the way back we went through the little town of Lamoille and noted growths of tall cottonwoods along Lamoille Creek below town. The woods looked like good habitat for Screech Owls and we inquired about trespass permission but learned that the landowner was in Elko. We intend to return some evening this week. We got back to camp at about 8 PM of a beautiful evening. Thomas Creek, 7600-7800+ft. Ruby Mts., Elko Co., Nev. June 19 Today I worked again up on the Mountain
