E. Aldrich 1938 May 25, 1938 In AM traversed back & forth ridge SW Camp in search for Boorwill nest; unsuccessful. In afternoon hiked to "upper country" N of camp where could look down on last camp & Cima. All this area is covered with Pinyon & Juniper, and near ridge overlooking last camp are interspersed Joshua's & much Cactus. Ring of cattle burrows found nearly everywhere. Observations of note for today: - Costa Hummingbird - Found one nest + egg on Pinyo limb (1 1/2" dia.) shades from above by limb. Bird about 4 anxious. - Boorwill - found no trace of this bird but saw plenty of good nesting sites (fallen tlogs, tree debris. It is from this slope that Boorwill's call set in evenings. - Cowbird - several seen during day - Woodhouse Jay - high on N ridge found 4 young out of nest & able to be caught. - Linceo [sp?] - Saw & shot at bird that was definitely a Vaneo. Looked as though bird fell, but couldn't find it. Was pushed about 30 yds away within group of Ephedra & old cactus stems. Was singing: (reended on the spot) Teree, tree, tee - lelelede; the first part (trees) are putulant & almost gratchetor- like. The last part is a trill slightly lower in
