Strung. 1921. Hazeltin B.C., 954 ft. 69, makes up in devotion what he lacks in brilliancy or tonal quality, for his mate seemed quite as respond- ing as did the female Redstart. There are a good many young Juncoes around now as well as young Song Sparrows and Robins. Late in the after- noon I shot a beautiful male flicker, chiefly aurantus but with red-tipped moustaches showing a trace of caler. His crown patch is brilliant. From the river I saw a big Red-Tail Hawk? which flew very near to me, but as he was over the river I couldn't shoot him. He seemed very similar in color to our Western bird (Calif.) but was slightly darker. A flock of six Vaux's Swifts flew over the clearing this evening, and this morning Mr. Swarth saw a flock of Crowbills fly over. 151.? Red Squirrel, 214.2 gms. (305-136-48-17.) June. 16. 1921 152.?
