R.J. Raitt 1956 45. Journal Spruce Mountain, 8400-11,000 ft., Elko Co., Nevada June 25 Vulture and one Junco. I heard a Ruby-throated Hillingbird, singing Hermit Thrushes, Mountain Chickadees, and Rock Wrens. After working through the pines for 1/2-2 hours I emerged into the open grassland-lowsage above the saddle and saw two Mountain Bluebirds, one of which I shot. I then dropped down onto the east side of the mountain and the top of the ridge directly behind and above our camp. Here in the edge of the mixed fir-pine forest I heard Chipping Sparrows and in a limber pine I saw and collected a g Williamson Sapsucker. I then dropped down to the north to camp passing through some fairly dense firs where I collected a Junco and a Mountain Chickadee. The rest of the day I spent skinning. The poor-will called near camp starting at about 8:45 pm but we couldn't get a shot. I saw several bats at about the same time but got no shots at them either. During the afternoon I checked my trapline and and found 3 chipmunks, all slipping badly. During the day we saw and heard from camp Robin's, Western Flycatcher, Clark Nutcracker, Mountain Chickadees, Hermit Thrushes, Green-tailed Towhee, Chipping Sparrows, Rock Wrens, House Wrens and Juncos. The weather was clear and warm during the day but cooled off when the sun went down and the wind came up. and Ward collected one. Many bats were seen.
