Co., Nev.
June 20 1962
cottonwoods at lower elevations along the
creek. Was poking along creek among aspens
near camp and took a ? Evening Grosbeak.
Her gonads were not dormant - largest
ovum 2 mm + she had absolutely no fat.
Looked like she was getting ready to
breed. It's a question however.
Went into a new area of timber to
try for Flammulated Owls as the moon
show it is coming up late - around
11 P.M. On no time started 2 calling
but simply could not see them in
dense firs. Finally after more than
an hour I came out on an exposed
branch of a fir + he was taken.

Moved camp to - day to Strawberry Cr.
Have no map of the area so can't
at this time give elevation. The
usual plant association. Aspen along
creek, white fir forests on N facing slopes
+ Mt. Mahogany an S facing slopes.
Sage brush on open flats + slopes.
