April 25 Sawmill, 27 mi. NE Globe, 5600 ft., Gila Co., Arizona
a few yards away.
Painted Redstart - one & collected in yellow pines . Bird
gave a Black Phoebe - like note gleeb
Bridled Titmouse - heard on sunny slope (oaks)
Solitary Vireo - one taken, & giving disconnected series of
song phrases. Russell reported seeing one yesterday.
Wild Turkey - at 6:35 I saw an individual which I
took to be a hen walking upstream from a pool in
Candy Creek bottom - bird must have gone up since-
crossed N-facing slope although track to water led
from oak-covered S-facing slope.
Examined small grove of Castanos - trees mostly about
4-6 inches in diameter and had no Sapauder drilling
marks.. I proceeded up a draw leading to the south
to investigate some screaming noises heard (I thought
possibly a parrot). Found a dead Peromyscus, well
decayed. I heard the call again and sawa
Goshawk fly into a snag. I took this bird (& #367)
crop contents not recognizable.
Other birds present: Acorn Woodpecker, Arizona Jay,
Pygmy Nuthatch, Grace & Black-throated Gray Warbler,
Red-shafted Flicker, Violet-green Swallow, Purple
Martin, Mourning Dove, Band-tailed Pigeon, Cassin
Kingbird. Notably absent was Steller Jay.
In walking back to camp I scared up a Chipmunk in rocks
of retaining banks along road. The chipmunk ran along side
of me, hiding, then resuming his flight for a brief distance of 25 yards.
