Remsen, J.V. 1975 Journal) Jan. 7 large Canyon Live Oaks (~25' tall), with little pinyon-juniper mixed in. (COIT) Live Oak Cyn faces east and so should probably get more Eastern vagrants in migration that southward facing Caruthers Cyn.; also it is closer to Clark Mtn and the Charleston Mtns, source areas for Arizona-type species.

Mohave Desert (Pinyon-Juniper Cons) Area: From Hole-in-the-wall to Midhills to Goffs to Klinefelter to Piute Wash. The washes near Bannock and Piute Wash are loaded with mistletoe-laden Acacias and support high densities of Phinopeplas. We began a winter Bird Census in Piute Wash, Klinefelter is a trailer with large tamarisks where an old-timer named Jim puts out feed and water for birds md is very receptive to nature-loving visitors; just SW of his house is Sacramento Spring, which is 2-3 mine shafts with surface water in an Acacia wash and a single willow, a single small cottonwood, and some bamboo around the wtr - lots of birds. The denzo tamarisks on the east side of the road, but we were told there was no water there (uninhabited). The whole area looked good for vagrant migrants except that it is so close to Colorado River, diminishing the oasis effect. Time: 0845-1700 Observers: Ed Wessman Temp: 40-65 Sky: clear Wind: 0-2^5
