July 4, 1948.
In a.m. hunted around Locher Lake, about 1/2
mile NNE of camp. Heard 2 sapsuckers drumming,
probably Williamson's. Birds not too plentiful
in this country, save along watercourses. On
Locher Lake noted 1 California Gull. Saw red-
breasted Sapsucker, but unable to shoot it.
3 white-headed woodpeckers seen at S end
of Locher Lake. Returned to camp, and then
hiked SW of camp. Heard 1 Steller Jay + 2 red-
breasted nuthatches. These birds both very
scarce here. Noted hairy woodpecker. Col-
lected singing of Cassin Finch from about 50
ft. up in a Jeffrey Pine. I flew out as I
shot. Around camp, saw a Red-breasted Saps-
sucker, probably same one noted yesterday.
About 4:15 p.m., Belly & I walked NW of camp,
