writing revealed none. Afternoon Powdard went to some place near the ridge + collected a large female. After washing clothes I spent rest of afternoon 'birding', devoting time to a scrubby clearing containing Asclepias + a few scrubby dogwoods. The opening or clearing was bordered by a dense growth of ROBIN ('just leafing out'), mixed with firs + Sodger poles. Such a small area proved interesting in bird relationships. About the only bird in the Clearing all the time was a 3' Great Tailed Towhee that sang top the sage continually and only occasionally fly to the Purifera + sing about 10 ft. high in a bordering fir (always on the Clearing side). There were other birds that only entered the the clearing to drink in the stream. I just saw the Ruby C Kinglet, Chipping Sparrow, Wood Pewee, Catbird, Warbler + Orange - C Warbler. Violet - green Swallows seemed to prefer the opening in which to hawk over for insects. Set out the trap line in Scrubby Robin Habitat. Marmot - Many faeces were seen on all the rocks of the ridge, but no Marmots themselves. Most of the droppings in the cracks were mouldy indicating last year's.
