April 22
Brown Valley elev 12,600 ft, Medal.
6:00 A.M., the yesterday ground is foot
covered & skies are clear. Trap line
is inspected; 2 voles (Microstus?) are
cought one in a meadow trap placed
along at a trail 9" from a burrow
(W.W.D. 75), the other from the forested
mossy banks of the larger stream (Luse
#3) - W.W.D. 74, where two traps were
place 3" from a runway in the green
moss.
7:08 A.M. From the banks of a stream
a bird (Titmouse?) is shot in a Rhodod-
dendron thicket. There are several of
these titmice constantly flitting about
amongst the Rhododendrons and at least
on Linobola is calling from a fir
overhead (W.W.D. 78).
A [illegible] light full song is heard
from several sources; one of these is
traced to the upper limbular of a
tree where a tiny bird hops from
limb to limb during the single pitched
trill, whenever he is stationary. This
specimen (W.W.D. 76) is taken. Another
kind some species is later seen in
a fir top, giving the same song.
