R.J. Raitt 1956 47 Journal E side Spruce Mtn., 8400-8800+ ft., Elko Co., Nevada June 26 bats were seen flying just before dark but I was unable to get a good shot because they were all flying low. Just at dark I saw a Horned owl flying up the draw. It failed to respond to calling. Word set a mist net across the mouth of a low mine tunnel next to our camp and caught about 35 bats (Myotis evotis & Myotis sp.? ) in it, in about 2 1/2 hours. Most of them were caught entering the tunnel. June 27 Today we got up at the usual time and I left camp to hunt at about 6:30 AM. I hunted in the draw just over the low ridge to the south of camp in the firs and pines. I heard Hermit Thrushes and House Wrens and Mountain chickadees singing and collected a Junco. Then I heard a Hairy Woodpecker drumming, across the draw and spent about an hour stalking it before I finally collected it. Later I heard another one drumming. I saw a Prairie Falcon flying over the canyon and heard and saw Rufous Warblers and Chipping Sparrows. I was particularly looking for Ruby-crowned Kinglets but neither saw nor heard them. Nor did I see any more Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers although I hunted through the same area where I collected the others.
