J. Guth 1989 journal 241. 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.
