May 28. Cedar Grove, S. Fork Kings R., 4600 ft., Tuolumne Co., Calif.
All of us set traps on S-facing slope on N.E. side
of river, beyond main road. All empty, except one of Mr.
Dixon's, which contained a Beromycus.
Two water ouzels seen flying over river near
bridge. May have nest under bridge.
Steller jays and dies in camp. Robins quite bold.
Another water ouzel (pair) seen at dam on E. side
of Sheep Creek. Deer tracks all along trail. Watched
nest of Calliope Hummingbird, near falls, for
about two hours. Went back to dam and watched
water ouzels for about an hour. Returned to camp,
where we saw a black-headed grosbeak in an oak.
Caught a couple of lizards and looked at the water
ouzel's (?) nest under the bridge. Returned to Calliope
hummer's nest with Marie to look at the
contents of the nest. The two eggs have hatched,
and the young are small and black, with orange
mouths wide open.
May 29. Cedar Grove, S. Fork Kings R., 4600 ft., Tuolumne Co., Calif.

went up to Lookout Peak. Left about 8:15 A.M.
Rufull flycatcher heard. Hermit Warbler (yellow
head and black throat). In snow area
