The slopes of the ridges and canyons are covered by heavier stands of yellow-pine and firs and spruce mix in on the meitic slopes. Most of the trees are second growth. There are few mature pines. The whole area is quite dry, there are no streams running water now and only one spring about 1/2 mi. S. The area is being extensively cured by sheep. A bear nearly ran over our camp last evening at supper. By about 10:30 AM the birds had become very quiet. Returned to camp about 11 A.M. Spent the afternoon thinning. After supper I went out owl hunting & Dr. Miller but we had no success. June 28 2 mi. E Hubert Mills, 6000 +/- ft., Nevada Co., Calif. Up fairly early this A.M. about 5:30 AM. After breakfast I went out to shoot birds on the ridges W of Camp. There are more heavily covered by pine with a sprinkling of white firs that sometimes form dense stands, none are too big, seldom over one foot D H. Saw a goshawk on the top of the ridge. He allowed me to approach quite closely. Also saw several for sparrow, and an olive-sided flycatcher. Returned to camp about 11 A.M. and spent the afternoon thinning. About 4 PM we took Dr. Miller to the bus in Truckee and bought more supplies, then returned to camp. After supper Ned Johnson went out hunting. I tried a little but shooting first but there are very few birds to be seen in this area. Thowl hunting was little better. We were able to call up only one don-land owl. Returned to camp about 11:30 P.M.
