Arose at about six o'clock in the morning & investigated the 22 traps which we had set along the East bank of the River. All were empty, one sprung. We sprung the remainder of the traps leaving them so we could set them the following evening. Returning to camp with nothing but a skin, J. Crowley & I packed ourselves trail lunch and equipment with yard horses, field glasses & several rat traps hit the trail at about 8:30.
We were at first confused by the number of birds singing and walked slowly getting good descriptions of birds of which we were not sure. The song of the Calaveras Warbler was a frequently heard one. As we went up the trail, I thought I saw a chipmunk ahead, on the trail a few feet beyond the gate that leads to the Sheep Creek East Fork where the Calliope Hummer's nest is to be seen. Set first trap at the Chipmunk Territory & then proceeded on up the trail.
