Davis 1949 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.
