LL Wolf 1963 20 Journal July 6 up Mogallon truck then uphill to mequinta - overgrazed area. I spent until 0900 trying to collect Desert Sparrowz. Managed to obtain 2 singing o's + a full-grown young. Both o's were beginning the postnuptial molt - see species accounts. Common birds in the mequinta were Burroch Orioles, Mockingbirds, + a pair of Blue Grosbeaks. John found a o' (truding condition) Myiarchus tyrenaulus. Probably as far north as the species gets. Area along river was cottonwoods, arrowwood, preserved specimens + then drove throught area to see other spots. Walked along Cila River near Cila to a sludge formed by a beaver dam. Along river were 7-10 Killdeer + 3 Spotted Sandpipers. Heard an Indigo Bunting in cottonwoods. John collected a pair of Red- winged Blackbirds which were feeding young. Back to Silver City at 1300. July 7 today took sight-seeing trip with Leonard + Jane Dabney + John. Drove south of Silver City on gravel road out of White Signel leading to Sefer. Found abandoned wire fence + explored. Pair of Peromyscus living 50 feet back + a dead Citelles.
