W.C. Russell Snake Cr., 8400 ft, Snake Range, White Pine Co., Nev. June 8, 1962 Hunted on the fir slope S of camp. Saw 1 Steller Jay and it was looking around out in the NW mahogany. Took a pair of red- breasted nuthatches that were quietly feeding out on the ends of the limbs in the white fir. They acted more like Pinyon Nuthatches. Killed the only Hairy Woodpecker I have seen so far. Sat down in the fir & aspen grove and started squeaking and immediately a 3 Cooper came swishing down the slope. He pulled up when he realized his error but turns too late. I repeat not a sign of a Golden-mantle ground squirrel. An interesting example of plant succession here are the stands of aspen with a fairly uniform stand of young white firs beneath. In different areas the firs an different sizes. Usually though for any given stand they are all about the same age. So far we haven't seen a single chat. In fact this would be a good place to make a long list of things we haven't seen.
