J. Groth 1987 journal 165. Poverty Creek, 8 1/2 mi. N + 10 mi. W Chloride elev. 7700 ft., Black Mts., Sierra Co., NM May 31 The habitat was pure pine savanna (cont'd) with mostly ponderosa and some pinyon pine. Generally the area was grazed by cattle. The cone crop on the ponderosa pine was of open and dropping cones, with touchy air seeds (or am I wrong?). This area looked very pristine, in terms of its total amount of contact by humans. I stopped in an area just about 1 1/2 miles W of the continental divide signpost -- turned in off the main road, stopped at the debris heard a Type I Lone Bird, who came in and stopped (as also recorded) but not collected. I then drove up to the sign for the continental divide, as turned into the forest here, where I found a heavily managed area just above al to the N of the highway 59. I set up here, stinging out a mist net in the forest. No crossbills were heard in the late hours of the day, great horned owl, whip-poor-will, nighthawk.
