Journal 113. J. Groth 1986 Tennessee Pass elev. 10,400 ft. Eagle Co. Colorado 8 June little on )66 67 B -- see shortcut of their flight calls for positive i.d. Another bird round included Common Nighthawk -- uncommonly heard at evening. All of the birds (crossbills) were processed today with the exception of the pair #19 & 420, who were kept overnight. The evening hours saw thunderstorms all around, but I got a lucky break by being in a sunny spot, until late evening, when the storms closed-in. At night, rain was on and off. 9 June The early morning dawn hours were gray & dismal. At 5:30, it began to snow heavily until there was about 3 inches of wet snow. Not much bird activity, although I got the net set up by 7:15 am. No crossbills were heard. Other birds were not active during the snowstorm, and the ruby-crowned kinglets did not sing until about 9:30 am. No crossbills were captured today. Only at two instances, one where I thought a type 2 bird was around!
