R.J. Raite 1956 3 Journal Mojave River, 1400-1450 ft., Afton, San Bernardino Co., Calif. December 26, 1956 buildings at Afton last spring. Whenever we approached the stream itself we detected Marsh Wrens in the most of the thick growths of Scirpus(?) lining the banks in narrow strips. Golden-crowned Sparrows were seen in flocks in the areas of more broken vegetation containing scattered Screw-lemon, Chilopsis and a shrub that looks like Tamarisk. Probably there were two different flocks of about 10-12 each, but they were moving through the area and we may have seen across the same one twice. Most of the birds seen were in the vicinity of the pond which is surrounded by dense clumps of Tall Screw-lemon. Foraging over the area at a height of 20-30 yards were two White-throated Skuafts, one of which I collected (on the fly,) Feeding in the screw lemon and out over the pond were a Say Phoebe, Black Phoebe, Audubon Warbler, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Western Gnatcatcher. The latter two species were also seen in a thick stand of Arrowweed. At this area a Kinglet and 1 Gnatcatcher were collected. A Black Phoebe was collected shortly thereafter in a low screw lemon on the bank of the stream near the pond. In a marshy spot next to the stream a Wilson Snipe was flushed. Two Killdees were seen along the stream at a point where its banks are bare except for grass (Distichla). Six Ducks (Mallards & tehears)
