R.J.Rath 1956 2 Journal Jarbridge, Elko Co. Nevada May 31 into Jarbridge and then back down and are camped on the east bank of the river about 500 yards downstream from the edge of town. Jarbridge contains [illegible] about 30 or 40 houses, most of them unoccupied. There are several bars, a store (with a gas pump) and a very ramshackle hotel (the Jarbridge Hotel). We made out camp at about 4:30 and looked around a bit after dinner. In the rather narrow riparian belt of mainly willows and cottonwoods there are Yellow Warblers (with a nest right in camp), Warbling Vireos, Robins, Black-headed Grosbeaks, Tolmie warblers, Swainson Thrushes, Fox Sparrows and we have heard a Veery. We chased the Veery a couple of times but have been unable to collect it. The canyon here is oriented north and south (south upstream). The width of the floor varies somewhat but is in the better neighborhood of 500 yds. The walls of the canyon are quite steep and are 500 to 800 feet high to the first ridge top. There are considerable stretches of vertical, volcanic cliffs on the west side but only lesser outcroppings on the east side. The main vegetative cover of the walls is sagebrush and glass. There are scattered clumps of Mountain Mahogany and some sizeable Aspen thickets particu- larly in the side draws (which are few and not deep). There are some patches of firs near the ridgetops.
