2mi. NE Jarlidge Peak, 8500-9000ft., Elks Co., Nevada
out as the flat land ends. Another 1/4 - 1/2 mile
north there is an extensive patch of aspen, and
I believe more meadow. I hunted over the
ridge between Dove Creek and the draw which
supplies the meadow area. Dove Creek is about
4-5 feet wide and flows at the bottom of a steep-
sided draw; no riparian trees or bushes and
no meadow: Sage on west-facing slope and
dense [illegible] on east-facing; above this;
stunted aspens and pines, the latter more
up on the ridge. Took two Zonotrichia leucophrys
in [illegible] - an unusually dry situation for
this species I would guess. Saw little else in
Dove Creek Canyon except a Hermit Thrush.
Crossed over ridge again and hunted in
meadow for about 1/2 hour. Took a Seikein
and lost another I shot. Returned to camp,
following the road. Collected an Audubon
Warbler at edge of meadow area, and a
Eutamias amoenus on a log on the hillside
halfway between the meadow and camp. Did
not hear Black-capped Chickadees today, which is
unusual since I ran on to them three times yesterday.
After dinner we moved camp down to the
meadow. Set 42/35 traps in the meadow. No
nighthawks heard tonight.
