KDixon 1947 Journal June 17. Yellowstone River, 7 mi. NE Glendive, 2000 ft., Dawson Co., Montana. American Redstart ♂♂ active and singing, perhaps the most common bird in these woods. Experienced difficulty in collecting, in part attributable to ammunition (W.C. Russell). Collected Red-eyed Vireo singing in box elders which were only beginning to leaf out. Song of this species liquid, melodious. Another singing ♂ heard an hour later 60 yards distant from where first was taken, closer to meadow. Collected Field Sparrow in lone tree in meadow on slope rising gradually to the bluffs. 2 birds were present, both giving call-note “tsip”. One flew to Artemisia shrub 35 yards to west. The other moved up in the tree and I shot it. Collected 2 Lazuli Bunting in large tree at edge of clearing. ♂ had been seen in vicinity earlier. Noted the following species in addition: American Goldfinch, Yellowthroat, Yellow Warbler, Chat, Spotted Towhee, Marsh Hawk ♂♂, Yellow-shafted Flicker, Western Meadowlark, House Wren, Cowbird, Red-headed Woodpecker, Oven-bird. Located nest of House Wren in pocket formed by loop of roofing paper hanging down from roof of cupboard on south side of cabin. Bird flew out to woods nearby. Nest built upon layer of sticks brought to tunnel-like site by wren presumably.
