Groth 1988 journal 231. April 7 in the ranges of Southern Arizona. I compared (cont'd) the plumages of the two males in front of me and found no visible difference in color -- both were the typical "gray-headed" form with rusty backs. The Cassin's finch was the first bird shot out of a flock of 4-5, and was collected yesterday morning. Cassius finches sang here, also mountain chideater, pygmy nuthatch, Steller jay, orange-crowned warbler. I left this spot by mid-afternoon and drove to Williams, Arizona, and beyond. This is a detail of the Prescott NF campsite I had: burned area downslope The forest at Prescott site was ponderosa pine, douglas fir, oak scrub. I also heard wild turkey & violet green or tree cyallows & saw many western bluebirds. Raven was seen. I drove Arizona highway 89 north to Interstate 40, & drove this E to Arizona highway 64, then took this N. This road cut through open ponderosa pine & juniper.
