Journal 14. ).6uth 1987 Huachuca Mts., Arizona May 20 and went up the jeep trail until it (untl) was blocked-off for the Miller Peak Wilderness. Here I camped for the night. May 21 Oresite Canyon, elev. 6300 ft. Cochise Co., Ariz. The weather at dawn mileage was partly cloudy around the mountain's 49896 remnants of all the rain. Temp ~55°, The habitat I was in was mostly oaks, with yucca (low type) as some sumac (?), but also conifers, with some Apache pine, limber pine, and rare Douglas fir. There were also few junipers. No crossbills were heard here, as I stayed until about 8:00 am. Mexican Jays were common, with Black-headed Grosbeaks, Rufous- sided Towhees, Black-headed Gray Warblers, as other birds I did not identify. Whip-Moor-wills sang in the very early morning. (I saw a very grayish Great-Horned Owl last night, along the road). I walked the area somewhat, and also drove it before leaving. Map on next page.
