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.)
