that the nesting season had not
yet arrived. The ova ranged in
size from O down to o, and
surely this condition would not
occur in a brooding bird. Does
the ♂ feed the ♀, or was the worm
a stick for nesting materials).
These two birds - Canyon Wrens -
were new to me. The reddish brown
back and breast and the contrasting
white throat patch are distinctive.
Collected in addition to the three
wrens, a ♂ Chipping Sparrow and a
♀ Brewer Sparrow. Both of these were
in the short sage on top of the
c bluff, and appeared to be in small
flocks - indicating that the nesting
season had not yet arrived. The
size of the ovaries bore this indication,
too. Heard Vesper Sparrows. Saw
two Ravens, a Sharp-shinned Hawk,
a Western Red-tail, a Swainson Hawk,
several Cliff Swallows, a Mourning
Dove, and heard a Sage Thrasher.
Horned Larks were noted along
the highway yesterday just after
we crossed into Idaho, and a few
were around camp this morning.
