N.C. Russell Lexington Cr., 8300 ft, Snake Range, White Pine Col, Nev. June 11 1962 They reported some Yellow Pine in either Big Wash or Lexington Gulch so we drove to the above locality and made camp. This is at an abandoned mine. Due to timber is mostly white fir with usual aspens in the draws. Tie uncanny with such beautiful surroundings and so quiet as far as bird songe go. There simply are not many individuals. Ned went out hunting, had 3 Flammulatus answers but no shots. The moon is bright now and my theory is this is not so good. Either they don't answer or if they do they stay in the dense fire where one can't get a light on them. June 12 1962 Hunted over to bottom of Big Wash. Got into a fair stand of Yellow Pine but that didn't help any in finding birds. From top to bottom of Big Wash on S side, the N facing slope then timbers at top is a mixture of Yellow Pine & white fir. Half way down or so the Yellow Pine quits and in the lower part the white fir is mixed with Douglas fir. Aspens along the stream. The Sharp-Shinned hawk was taken flying above sage brush on the ridge between
