R.K. Selander, 1955 Journal 3 2mi. NE Jarlidge Peak, 8500-9000ft., Elko Co., Nevada aspen and fir. Some clumps of willow here and there but not abundantly. Meadow area is bordered by a stand of short, dense aspens. Several slopes of glass and small sage in the area, which is just below the belt of pine-fir timber. Aspen-fir Groves extend for a mile or more in several draws running north from the meadow area; probably, extensive meadow land at a lower elevation where land is flat. In the willows Passerella iliaca was fairly common; also white-crowned sparrows; one red-naped sapsucker; ruby-crowned kinglets (there also in aspen-fir- generally distributed and no more common than at camp); heard black-capped chickadees, Sitta canadensis; Empidonax wrightii. Vireo gilvus abundant in aspens. Vermithrushes more numerous than in done Creek Canyon near camp; several solanis present; heard red-shafted flicker. Took a shot at an adult Goshawk perched atop of large aspen; this bird was calling excitedly and I suspect it may have had a nest nearby. Saw a red-tailed hawk high over the meadow. Returned to camp at 10:00a& spent rest of day skinning birds. At 7:00 we drove down to meadow- area to hunt for nighthawks and owls- saw none and no response from Dr. Miller's owl imitations. June 23 Colder this morning than yesterday. At 6:00 I crossed over west slope of Dane Creek and hunted down a small canyon which runs parallel with Dane Creek *probably mis- identification of Parus imbeli-see June 25
