Bootlegger Saddle elev. 9000 ft, Chiricahua Mts,
Cochise Co., Arizona
May 24 The weather in the morning was again
cont'd mostly sunny with some high clouds.
The wind and sunshine continued all day.
No crossbills were heard all day. Mexican
cutthroat was present, an olive warbler
(♂) was seen foraging low in the
oaks along the ridge here at Bootlegger.
Gray woodpecker was present and hammered
long on a large dead ponderosa pine
near the top. [The olive warbler appear
to have green hairy caterpillars-- in
it's bill.]
No evening grosbeaks were heard all day.
Pygmy nuthatches were not heard. Siskins
were uncommon- maybe one figure in three
hours. Three ravens (northern) were
acrobatically flying on the ridge.
I was able to photograph a ♀ broad-tailed
hummingbird at a cactus flower. Also,
I photographed and watched some
Sceloporus jarrovi (by altitude in Stebbins)
also today. Hikers were fairly common
at a forest service truck stopped
but did not see any camp.
May 25 The morning was like all the others --
windy, and this one especially cool.
No crossbills were heard at dawn.
