Beaver Creek, 7300 ft., 10 mi. E Kamas, Summit Co.,
Utah
July 5
5:30 we drove to Oakley and then up the Weber River toward Smith-Moorehouse Canyon
to a locality -
10 mi. E Oakley, 7400 ft., Summit Co., Utah
Near a bridge over the Weber River mayflies
caddis-flies and gnats were swarming in
great numbers. Collected many mayflies of
several species. As I expected night hawks (C.minor)
to appear in numbers at dusk, we remained
here until almost sunset. Only 5 or so
night hawks appeared - and these flew so high
that we were unable to collect specimens. Other
species observed were Song sparrow, yellow
warbler, tree swallow (common, I collected),
red-shafted flicker, robin, Brewer blackbird,
red-winged blackbird, black-billed magpie.
We then drove to Salt Lake City, arriving at
9:30 P.M.
