KDixon 1947 Journal 57. June 20. Yellowstone River, 7 mi NE Glendive, 2000 ft, Dawson Co., Mont. a meadow leading east from the river. Here I noted 2 Magpies which flew across the river to a cottonwood-covered island. Field Sparrows were noted in the bushy portion adjacent to the river. I proceeded along the edge of the boxelder woods to a clearing at the edge of the woods near camp where I shot at a Chat which apparently was only knocked down, since I was unable to find it. A light rain fell during early afternoon. At 2:30 PM I heard a cuckoo and saw the bird in a box elder west of camp. From 3:15 PM to 3:45 PM I worked in the area east of camp and collected a Brown Thrasher, one of a pair which I squeaked up (δ; no 39). I also noted a Yellow Warbler and a Black-headed Grosbeak in the area. From 6:05 – 6:15 PM I hunted along the streamcourse south of camp in a row of cottonwoods (young trees ± 30 ft) with scattered thickets of Prunus to 10 ft and low patches of Rosa. I squeaked up (hissing) pairs of Spotted Towhees, Red-eyed Vireos, Redstarts and Lazuli Buntings, collecting the ♀ of the latter and later collected a pair of Chats. I shot one of the latter which was attracted by my hissing. This bird was ♀ presumably. The mate remained in the tree overhead & gave a whining call before flying to the next cottonwood.
