June 18. Yellowstone River, 7 mi NE Glendive, 2000 ft., Dawson Co.,
Montana. Noted 2 Black and White Warblers in
these woods, both singing. One pursued the other
twice, each time after the latter had sung, and
drove latter from the area. I shot at the
first bird twice but either failed to kill it or lost it
in herbaceous undergrowth. Other species noted in
this woodland: American Redstart, Ovenbird, Spotted
Towhee, American Goldfinch (on borders), Brown Thrasher
(at border).
June 19. Yellowstone River, 7 mi NE Glendive, 2000 ft., Dawson Co., Mont.
Cloudy in east at 04:30 PM, later clearing completely,
becoming warm. In field from 05:30 to 10:00 AM. Calm
until 09:00 when westerly breeze up to 8-10 mph
came up. Hunted in tract of box elder woods between meadows
(locality collected in yesterday), until 08:00 AM. Collected
♂ Redstart (No [illegible] 29) in those woods singing song similar
to that of Black and White Warbler. Collected Ovenbird ♀
(No31) in same area, attracted by my hiasing. Also took
♂ Yellowthroat (No33) at edge of these woods a few yards
from the river. Noted Turkey Vulture and probable Hairy
Woodpecker flying overhead, heard Downy Woodpecker in
woods. Other species noted within this tract of
woods 75 yards wide and several hundred yards
long were Black-capped Chickadee, House Wren, Red-eyed
Vireo Chat. Yellowthroat was not found in the
center of the woods where undergrowth was only grass there.
