McDunnmil 32. May 19 1954 Barum Hing Valley, Base Camp, elev 1530ft., - Negal. 8:00 AM. A bright red-chested finch is shot as it pecks at the ground in Base Camp (W.W.D. 105). This bird was seen two days ago in the area by another member, but had not previously been observed, so it must have recently immigrated into this locality. 105 9:30 A.M. I leave Base Camp going down the Barum Valley in hope of collecting any new birds (or mammals) to the area. This is a clear warm morning but almost no birds are seen. Finally a bird is shot, but it turns out to be the common red-chested sparrow-like bird which frequents Base Camp (W.W.D. 106). 106 105 11:30 A.M. A pair of finches (some as no 105) are seen feeding on a dry hillside. The male is shot (but later discarded). The female has no apparent color markings & flies out of view after the shot. Back at Camp 12:30 PM. The only bird species seen besides the above two on the trip is the flycatcher-like bird (W.W.D. 63, 64, 83, 84) which is commonly seen posted atop boulders in this locality. Early afternoon skinning the two birds.
