of same species. Saw some immature Siskins there. Just after
collecting a Siskin, a pair of Sparkling-tailed Hummingbirds
went thru courtship display about 30 feet away over roof.
A family group of White-throated Robins was feeding in
dense tangle in shrubby second growth. A young bird, full-
grown, collected had blue berries in throat.
6+ Gray Sibley Flycatchers moved thro oaks along road.
2 young in post-juvenal molt were collected - one had whole
digestive tract full of mistletoe berries. Watched both
adult Grace's Warblers around full grown young. Not sure
if both feeding.
Back to car to prepare specimens. Discovered this
spot to be a bus-stop + point where two trails intersect
roof. So had visitors most of the day.
Began to cloud up & thunder about 1500. Went back
to field until 1630. Collected a Berg-thim Hummingbird
which John is going to preserve in formalin for a graduate
student at Michigan.
Began to rain about 1730 as I finished writing notes.
Area is mainly oak woodland much of which has been
cleared & is coming back in shrubby 2nd growth. Few
short needled pines on hill sides.
