W.C. Russell Thomas Co., 6100 ft, Warner Mts., Modoc Co., Calif. June 13, 1964 Drove over Cedar Pass & down on Cedar Ck. to around 6000 ft. where I hunted along the stream for Western Flycatcher. Due to recent rains & snow the run off is heavy & creek is huge & noisy. The birds are spaced along the creek every 100 yds. or so, but trying to locate them in the large firs with their call notes seeming to come from all directions at same time, is tough hunting. Hunted from 6:30 AM till 10:30 to get 3 birds & lost one. Only other flycatchers seen were " several wood pewees this around edges of meadows. The Westerns seem to be strictly confined to stream side. June 14, 1964 Hunted up the N facing slope S of Camp. In thick white fir timber near the ridge finally rec. an answer to Biggy Owl calls. One answered with good vigor and was able to lead him from perch to perch till he was in suitable position where he would fall clear without hanging up in a tree. Now this bird had a completely empty stomach.
