m. Redon, 1942 Journal Cedar Grove, 4, 30 ft., S. Fork Kings R., Fresno Co., Calif. June 2, 1942 Left camp at about 7:35 after having done dishes. Stopped at Robin's nest. Mother on nest & father near by in (?) tree about 10 yds. from nest. Came on trail straight up to Calicoe nest. Saw numerous Chickarees in rockpile near bridge; saw also ground squirrels pushing across road. On trail startled a Chialice which pushed away chatterly quietly. Also came across a deer which heard me stamping up the trail and bounded gracefully away. Saw swifts, heard numerous warblers. Arrived at Calicoe nest at about 5 min. of 8 and stayed until about 10:30. At that time H. Fisher & R. Storer came up the trail. We proceeded on up together until we were well beyond the limits of Kings Canyon Nat'l Park & within those of Sequoia Nat'l Park. We proceeded in a leisurely fashion & stopped to watch birds, etc. along the way. H. Fisher shot one junco (via shotgun) & the two caught several Fallopia gracilis.
