Queen Canyon, 700ft., Mineral Co., Nevada
the willows and Stella Jay in Pinon
not far from the stream. Put up the Jay &
the mule. On the trip back to the ranch
shot a Sage Sparrow. Ned got a Solitary
Vireo, blown up badly, not in breeding
condition not saved. He also got an Orange
Crowned Warbler, Horned Lark, and B.G.
Bluebird. He stayed mostly in the
willows along the stream. This is a
beautiful area, one which was interesting
to watch. My bird list for the area,
including the ranch, was as follows:
Western Kingbird, Yellow Warbler, Robin,
Baltimore Oriole, Violet-green Swallow,
Horned Lark, Spotted Towhee, Brewer's
Sparrow, Hermit Thrush (heard), Teschic
Warbler Walling Vireo, Blue-headed (= Cassin
= Solitary) Vireo, Bushtit, Western Wood
Pewee, Western Meadowlark, Fox
Sparrow, Stellar Jay, Rock Wren, Gray (?)
Flycatcher, Black-throated Grey Warbler,
Cinclirid, Killdeer Sage Sparrow, Chipping
Sparrow, & Red Crossbill & Red Squirrel.
Layli Bunting also. I shot a lizard.
There is a good dirt road all the way from
Pt. 6 to the Queen Mine, we found out
later. The mine is active. I came down
from the mountain in a wrong canyon and
had to cross about 6 bridges to get back
to the base of the canyon. Boundary Peak
is very beautiful from both below in the
valley & above on the hill. Saw several deer.
