July 5.
Red's Meadow, 700 ft., Sierra Nat'l For., Madera Co., Calif.
While walking in a.m. near the meadow, saw
1 Hairy Woodpecker and 1 Sierra Creeper. In p.m.
we went to Soda Springs, near the Reel's Boxfile.
Cassin Finches, 6?? + 2?, groundfeeding in the
same place we saw them last year. Saw a young
Sipper, working along the riveredge. It was very
unsteady, frequently falling as it scrambled over
the gravelly shore. Nevertheless, it bobbed in typical
Sipper fashion almost every time it stopped moving.
July 6.
Picked up 150+ Salvia + 250+ S.F. Set traps in p.m.
Betty ran across a group of 1 adult ?? + 1 adult ? and
1 young ?? Evening Grosbeak. Saw several Rufous
Hummers near the bathhouse. They looked like they
had just arrived, and I noted two pursuits
involving a Rufus and a Green Hummer (probably
the resident Calliope), with the Rufus driving the
other bird away each time. Hushed Song Sparrow flew N/4.
July 7.
Picked up 350+ and 2 Zafres which died, one
Betty had been feeding. She saw the same group
of Evening Grosbeaks again while picking up her
traps. In p.m. saw young Song Sparrow in meadow
below ranger station. 4 Robin and 2 young, well-
grown, have been in and out of camp all day.
