May 22 Chiricahua Mts., Cochise Co, Arizona
When we got back from the hike,
gain checked 273's net while
Lenthly checked 305's net. Nothing in
273's. Kathy found two male
red crossbills (#316 & #317) in the
net of 305. (this was 12:30 pm) the two
were caught between 10:30-12:30, and
probably were associated with one
another, but this is not certain. The
nets we left on until about 3:00 pm-
no other wild crossbills were caught.
Bird 317 was recorded for both toop
and flight call; 316 was silent. We
broke camp and headed to Kathy's cabin
on Turkey Creek--got there at about
6:00 pm. I went down the road to
check for possible trapping sites. Then
I pulled tissues from 317 and prepared
the one specimen. There were w-t
Swifts, Blue-throated Hummingbirds, Canyon
Wrens, Whinchat wills, Acorn Woodpeckers
and a Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher around
the cabin.
May 23 Kathy left early this morning to do her
census of the Chiricahua Nat'l Mon.
