J. Groth 1988 journal 235. North of saddle Mt. The habitat was of pinedosa pine al juniper, with sagebrush al grass understory: about 14 miles river camp saddle mt. Apr 18 The morning broke mainly clear after a clear, cold night. Frost covered the trude. Townsend's warblers sang loudly, also purple finch, cassins finch. I heard pine siskins, stellers jays, clark's nutcrackers. A low type 2 crossbill was recorded at shot (bird 678 -- after a short hunt to find the wounded bird). Later, at 9:45, a flock of 7 Type 2 adults came around al sat on fur decoy cages, but I collected none since I had no net set up. The day grew cloudy, and it lightly drizzled several times, but the sun remained fairly bright at this spot. Forecast of more rain tonight and tomorrow.
