J. Groth 1985 journal 62. Aug 3 At dawn I took a walk from camp to birdwatch. The morning was mainly clear with some high and low clouds. I walked from camp to the turnoff of Cottonwood Rd open area Pine cottonwood road Squag cattle guard Road TO DELTA Camp N ravine good cone crop here good space cones in ravine No crosstills were heard. Pine siskin, junco, mountain chickadee, common nighthawk, flicker, Bewick's wren, chipping sparrow, broad-tailed hummingbird. As it appeared that this may have proved to be a poor area for catching crosstills, I drove down Cottonwood Rd to search for other good areas. Along the streams and sides of the mesas the pine cones (species?) were in fair crop, with cones just ripening. Only a few ponderosa pines looked favorable. I took a turnoff to Love Mesa and another turnoff to Escalante Canyon. By 8:00 am I had found a good-looking ponderosa pine savanna area where I set up a net. By 8:30 am crosstills were heard here.
