Journal 30 14 June North of Sweetwater Canyon, Lyon Co., Nev. Spotted Towhee, Chipping Sparrow, Violet-green Swallow, Pelin with partly completed nest. Mountain Chickadee Warbling Vireo. Black-throated Gray Walle[r], Bush-tit, Steller Jay, Turkey Vulture, Western Tanager, and some sort of Juncus. Black-throated Gray Wallers were not as common here as further south in pion. Green-tailed Towhees very common. Lots of Swallows. Shot 3 Cassin finches, 2 Mountain Chickadees, and Teach [illegible] Spotted Towhee, Bush-tit, and a 1st-year Western Tanager-(also saw adults adult of this). Red cut Andulus Wallles, a Steller Jay, a Pelice, a flying Woodpecker (which I also saw), a Red-breasted Sapsule, a Black-throated Gray Walle[r] (etc!) We hunted till about noon. Left about 1300. Enroute to Berkeley - returned over Sonora Pass. Got a list of 24 birds. Founda Berkeley Ground Squirrel in the road, + an Ohlra Sided Flycatcher. (There were no Empidox flycatchers in the Sweetwater area. I also shot 2 Chipmunks. Arrived Berkeley about 2100. Mileage not recorded, but it was just over 1600 miles (1058). (I worked to Calif. State line; didn't cross, so all my birds seen are from Nevada, except the bush-tit was on the line.)
