Bice arrow Journal 1965 cont'd July 10 At 10:30 Marty and I started off on the trail to Fingers Lakes. There is no mileage posted at the head. The trail winds through the forest and after about 1.5 miles, the lake is reached which is on the other side of a lowland marsh. In the marsh are many song sparrows. We didn't try to reach the lake. No birds were seen on the lake itself which is about 4 a mile long. It appears to be used Trail mostly by hunters in season. The mosquitoes thrive on the moist undergrowth and one cannot stand still without becoming drained of his bodily fluids by these insects. There are just swarms of them. Not much bird life was noted either coming or going. On the way there we saw many juncos, I shot 1 immature one. An Empidiorax was seen. I shot a ? yellow billed sapsucker of a burned snag. On the way back I shot a young one in the same area. A Macgillivray's Warbler was seen near the trail head. A Townsend's warbler was seen also. A heavy downpour occured on the hike back. July 11 Up late, Ate, raining since about 8 AM. It stopped about 11AM and I took my gun and went again up the Five Fingers lake trail. A Macgillivray's Warbler played with me for awhile but I couldn't shoot it. About 25 yds up the trail a red eyed vireo jumped out in plain site on a branch and I shot him.
