1.6 1987 Spring Creek Pass, elev. 11,100 ft., San Juan Mts., Hinsdale Co., Colorado June 7 A good series of trilling calls from (cont'd) this juvenile has been recorded. I captured the juvenile by hand and killed it for the specimen. I drove into Lake City again today to call home. I got there late in the afternoon. It was cloudy and drizzling, and by the time I made the phone call it was raining. I returned to Spring Creek Pass after the call. I camped further up the road, at about 11,200 ft at the edge of a clearing/meadow. June 8 I set up a net near a patch of snow and a dead tree in the southern edge of the meadow. No luck at first, but then by a great bit of good fortune I cought a type 5 male (did not see him get captured). Not long after, (maybe 1/2 hour) a lone ? Type 5 came in and was only interested in 569. She (#571) had an active brood patch and ovary, so I wonder if she was 569's mate [see sonogram for call-matching
