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,
