July 5. 2 mi E Shriver, 6500 ft., Carbon Co, Montana.
Douglas Fir with some fir (Abies). Collected
Ruffed Grouse along streambed (see species acc't).
Returned to camp and started out over same
route again. Flushed another Ruffed Grouse
on the path 100 yards upstream from where the
other (no 112) was taken. Went up along east-
facing slope of this draw, noting Pink-sided
Junco's but never seeing members of one pair
together. Took one of this species (no 111) in
a patch of ashen on west side of creek; ? not
in evidence. Took a Ruby-crowned Kinglet
foraging in Douglas Fir on this slope. Noted
pair of Chipping Sparrows on ground and others
(?) singing in conifers. Walked upstream and
up onto ridge to east above clearing about 3/4 mile
S of camp. Called up what appeared to be
a pair of Junco's and shot one which proved
to be immature. Called up 3 Mountain Chickadees,
all too close to shoot after which time I selected
and shot Audubon Warbler (D), No 114. Had
fleeing glimpse of Hermit Thrush attracted
by my calling - bird did not afford a shot.
Walked downslope into denser coniferous
growth collecting Pine Siskin in fir overhead.
Proceeded into canyon in which camp is
located and took a young Chickadee
