Indian Springs, inside Mt. Macleoda, Boot, Emerald Co., Made
nest yesterday and today. Put my these 3 birds,
and 1 from yesterday. Later in afternoon
went across road & got an Ash-throated
flycatcher with a [illegible] load.
We had been
hearing him since we arrived, off & on.
Put 'em up, and shot a lizard, Sage-lizard?
which I put in formalin. Later took
notes of Brewer Sparrow nest, shot a
House Finch near the spring. About
1745 a Morning Dove came near spring.
Red is shining all afternoon. I'm sort
of easing.
Today is beautiful. The sun has shone
bright all day, & is hot. I am in tee shirt
now, contrasted to field jacket 24 hrs. ago.
The late pm. sun on the White Mts., in
the west looks funny - the snow on top
looks all glistening, like it was half
melted + refrozen. There is a breeze today,
but light, not windy as before. Very nice
day.
The good weather has brought
out the herps. Have seen a lot of
lizards today but no snakes.
About 1900 a Hairy Woodpecker near spring.
About 2000, we left for owl hunting
near Pigeon Springs.
P.S. Pigeon Springs, Boot, Emerald Co., Var.
Got here just before dusk, started calling
for Barnest Owls. No luck. Poor willis
here are more numerous than at Indian
Springs. Also saw 1 or 2 bats. Good
vision on all these slopes.
