July 9. 2 mi E Shriver, 6500 ft., Carbon Co., Montana.
singing of House Wren (no 138) in same row of
ashens.
Proceeded to conference ridge west of camp.
Noted injury feigning behavior of F Audubon Warbler
and noted nest in Douglas fir at edge of forest,
10 ft above ground. Returned later and found
that nest contained 4 (possibly 5) newly hatched
fledging. M & F later seen carrying food
in area. Noted pair of Western Tanagers
in area, the M singing. Saw pair of Pink-billed
Juncos on ground; one, the M, flew to tree & I took
it, no 141. Waited 10 minutes for returning mate
but no sign of her. While picking up the M, another
pair flew to area and I took the F, no 139. The M
flew to her as she fluttered and I also took him, no
140. Heard Red-breasted Nuthatch but wasn't
able to locate it.
Washed to area along stream near row of ashens
where Phylloscopus taken & squawked up a Tolmie
Warbler; M had been singing earlier. Went down
toward willows in marshy area, noting Mountain
Bluebird on fencepost. Attempted to call up
Song Sparrow but had no success. Eventually
took a Lincoln Sparrow (no 142) the only one
seen in area. 2 Tolmie Warblers were
singing, one from area where I shot at M.
