J.K.Selander, 1955 Journal June 23 2mi. NE Jarlidge Peak, 8500-9000ft., Elko Co., Nevada Canyon. There is a small stream in it - about the size of Dave Creek near our camp. Vegetation similar to that in Dave Creek Canyon - possibly more pine and less fir. Took a creeper just after descending into the draw. Saw a gold-mantled ground squirrel in scattered rocks at bottom of draw. Cassin purple finches singing all along slope of draw, and Clark nutcrackers flying along ridge. One chipmunk noted at base of small clump of firs. Hunted through meadow over same area as I hunted yesterday. Ran on to Parus gambel? three times (in pairs) but unable to collect any. Took a pair of hairy woodpeckers in stand of aspen bordering meadow; they were calling excitedly and appeared to be nesting since both have hood patches. Found a nest of white-crowned sparrow on ground wedged in against the base of a willow trunk - 5 eggs showing about 3 days incubation. Noted 2 separate pairs of Sitta canadensis, ad collected one bird. These were moving along edge of meadow area in aspen & fir. Seiurus flew over several times - always heading down the slope (=north). Several Empidonax wighti were present in aspens; one collected. Two red-shafted flickers seen flying over grassy slopes from meadow area to stand of timber to the east. Audubon warblers in aspen & fir just up slope from meadow - one collected and 3-4 more seen. Elevation at meadow is 8500ft.
