June 6 Colorado River, Calif.
Lesser Goldfinch, 1; Albert's Tawnee, 20-30; Song Sparow,
6; Great-tailed Grackle, 1, = 9/ sp.
June 7-9 San Diego, Calif.
Intermittent rain today, didn't go out.
June 10. We left San Diego about 7 P.M. June 9 and went
to Doheny State Park where we talked to Eleanor
Pugh for a while. Worked over the reports for S. Gulf
And Field Notes and then looked for birds around
the park - not much here. We went from here
to San Bernardino & up U.S. 395 to Big Pine
and thus out towards the White Mts. to Box
Elderspring, where we spent the night. Cold and
windy. In the A.M. we saw a few House-Finches,
a Great-tailed, an Empidonax, and a Hummer,
but nothing else. We went up over Westgard
Pass, seeing about 10 Chukars on the road. We stopped
at two places in the pinon-juniper near Westyard,
but didn't find them - a few Greatcatchers,
Black-thr. Gray Warblers, and some Gray Flycatchers.
Saw 2 Pinion Jays when we turned off into the
higher Whites. A few Sparrows about. We went
up to Sherman Grove, 10000+ ft., in the Basalt-
cone pines where we looked around for some time.
Birds were not very numerous here, and decidedly
non vocal. Nutcrackers were fairly conspicuous
in this county, and there were lots of Pygmy
Nutcatches at the grove. Saw a Gray-tailed Junco
