R.J.Raith 1956 40 Journal Thomas Creek, 7600+ ft., Ruby Mts, Elko Co. Nevada June 22 Soon came and began to feed on a cottonwood trunk. I collected it and waited for several minutes more, but nothing came so I left. I worked in the lower fringe of the Mth Mohogany on the north slope for about an hour. I heard a Virginia Warbler singing, and, when I tried to reach it, I found that it was moving around over an area, about 50-100 yards in diameter. I hid in a moohogany bush in what seemed to be about the center of his "territory" and finally he came into the bush, and I shot him. Also in the area were Audubon Warblers, Chipping Sparrows, Western Flycatchers and Hermit Thrusher. The Audubon Warblers were especially active and singing. One pair appeared to be feeding young. I returned to the cottonwoods along the creek and watched a while longer. Finally I saw a Hairy Woodpecker high in a cottonwood and I shot him. I returned to camp at about 10:30 and spent the rest of the day skinning. Elko, Elko Co. Nevada June 23 Today we packed up and left our camp at Thomas Creek at about 10:30 AM. We drove into Elko, bought groceries, picked up the mail, ate lunch and left
