P. DeBenedictis 1964 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
