11 mi. W, 7 mi. S Mitchell, 4850 ft., Wheeler G. Dr.
and Quelanchier. The Red-tailed
Hawk was heard again. Proceeded
due souther to the ridges and
forest of yellow pine, larch, and
white fir in a fairly open stand,
and then continued eastward.
Found a nest of T. o. montanus
with four young about two
days old and possibly younger.
Little farther on I began to
imitate a Pygmy Owl and

Chickadees, Red-breasted Nut-
atches, Wright Flycatcher.

response was evoked and
attracted also: Western Tanager
Pine Siskin. This seems to indi-

region. The Red-breasted
Nutcrackers and Mountain
Chickadees appeared most
