5/26 White Mountains, Arizona Yellow-rumped Warbler (Commons singing) Hairy Woodpecker, Flicker, Raven (uncommon) Steller's Jay, Coot-- (Seen on the lakes) No pine grosbeaks, Clark's Nutcrackers, Pinyon Jays, Gray Jays !! when are these species? also, no hawks. I drove on 273 until the cut-off for Big Lake, and continued straight on the road, which led in about 17 mi. to Alpine, Arizona. From there, I took A2 666 S to the same Greenelee Co., site as last year (1985) when I found the breeding population. The cone crop was extremely poor between Big Lake and Alpine, also poor from Alpine to Hanagan Meadow-- especially poor on ponderosa pine. After the descent from Hanagan Meadow, the cone crop improved. The Ponderosa pine here had a fair new green cone crop, as the remains of last year's moderate crop were seen, half on / half off the trees. About 14 mi. S. of Hanagan Meadow a female Wild Turkey and babies were seen.
