Indian Spring N Side Mt Mac Rhuda, 7300 ft., Emardda Co., Nev.
Spent the morning finishing up yesterdays
specimens. I chased a Lazuli Bunting
around the spring for nearly half an hour,
couldn't get a shot. Shot a Green-Tailed
Toucanet, Red-Eyed (=Spotted) Toucans also in
area. Left here about 11:30 AM.
Emi. S. Pigeon Spring, 6400 ft., Emardda Co., Nev.
Hunted here for about 1 hour. I got two
Tree-mice (Plain), 2 Brewer Sparrows, and
a Black-Throated (Desert) Sparrow, Amphiliza
lilacina . Nothing else new here.
From here we moved on toward
Cottonwood Basin in the White Mountains,
at the top of Westguard Pass, we
decided to go to Big Pine for gas. Returned
and started in the road to the White
Mt. Research Station. This is a very
poor, in fact impossible road for a sedan.
We got about 8 mi. in, past Reed Flat, and
Ned's truck couldn't make the steep
grade. Barked a bog ways, turned
around and headed back to Big Pine,
on the way to the Queen Mine. Went
up Rt. 6 to just over the Nevada line.
Found a deserted ranch.
Ranchina Valley S of Mt. Montgomery, Minerala, Nev.
a pretty little oasis too with several deserted
buildings. This was our HQ for nearly a day.
Water piped down from Queen Canyon runs
a small stream past here, and 2 ponds
are formed for cattle, which had the run
