Weston

West Gnat.

Polioptila caerulea
July 1 - Quail Spring Joshua Tree Natl. Mon. San Bernardino Co. Calif.
Several times today I have seen two kinds of
gnatcatchers, Western and Plumbeous. At 3:40 p.m.
while sitting in camp I saw a western and to
be sure of its identification, I shot it. Off and
on today we (Wad Fox, Dr. R. Stebbins + ?) have
heard and seen gnatcatchers flitting about in
the catclaw trees in the bottom of the valley
along the dry wash.
