Co., Nev.
June 24 1962
Tent was made of white shredded bds of
aspen bark. Lining was a dark finely
shredded darker bark & a few small
feathers mixed in.
Heard several Dolnic warblers singing
but difficult to get a shot in dense thickets
& more difficult to find a bird if killed.
Heard 2 White-crowned sparrows singing
&muffed both of them.
Found several large aspen -12"-14" diam
freshly cut & felled by beavers.
Seem to have a family of weasels
living right in camp. Chetman list
saw an adult across creek from tent
in afternoon. In evening he watched
2 youngish appearing animals playing
in same area. But time it occurred to
us to try catching them alive they dis-
appeared. Den I must be close by.
We are commencing to see crossbills
in flocks now. This was not true when
we arrived. At 1st of month only single
birds were seen.
