M. Redon, 1942 journal Cedar Grove, 4,600ft., S.Fols King D. Fresno Co. Calif. June 1, 1942 Stayed in camp until about 4:00 p.m. and then J. Russell & I went to the bridge to see if we could find the nest of a Callope which Mrs. Gunnell reported having seen flying around there. The presence of a nest seemed rather likely chiefly because of the presence of the bird at that time? year & that the habitat strongly suggested that occupied by the bird have been largely up the trail near Sheep Creek Falls. There was water near, but no Alders present etc. We found nothing, however. We went to look at the robin's nest. Mother - opened. Father nearby on other side of next tree. We did not disturb them.
