9 June 9 m. W Benton, Volpe Glass Mt, 8500+ft, Mono Co, Caly, set out hunting. The weather is very poor. It is cloudy & overcast, with the sun only occasionally breaching through, and very windy. A lousy day for collecting. In over 2 hours I couldn't get close enough to anything worth shooting. Saw the following: Mt Chiricahoe, Oregon Junco, Wright Flycatcher, Clark's Vireatcher, a waxie and some unidentified things. Shot at a Wright flycatcher, missed. That was my only shot. While waiting for Ned to return to camp, I found a Mt. Chiricahoe nest. See sp. ant. During the morning it was snowing on the ridges around our camp - the White Mts in the distance were apparently getting quite a storm. Lousy weather, during the morning Ned shot 3 Empidonax wrighti, About 1000 we left this place, went to Mount's Place, Mono Co. Caly. Here we put up the birds we had. Ned did his they flycatcher from yesterday, and 2 Wright's. I did his owl & my Contspas. Left Lee about 1330, headed East. At this place where there is an old building, we saw Empidonax trailii, Spizella brenneri Thyonomes lenwichi: From Lee proceeded to Benton, Bishop, Across Westward Pass, through Deep Spings Valley, to Oasis, and into New.
