10 June Wyman Creek, White Mts., Inyo Co., Calif.
and Orange-Crowns with them. Yellows scattered
all along through the willows. Heard two Solitary
Vireos singing in the junipers above the creek,
but they were way up a cliff & I was too tired
to chase them (both may have been isolated
birds) - still wonder if it breeds in the White's,
arbitrarily. As we got still lower along the
creek we began to run into flocks of Western
Tanagers, mostly flycatching among the willows,
and undoubtedly late migrants. The Gray
Flycatchers gave way to Dusky for no apparent
reason at at the lower parts of the creek.
No groups were formed at all. Also Grosbeaks
above-sided Towhees
canard Billock Oriole appeared along here.
The road left the creek going into sagebrush
country (saw a Desert Sparrow line) then back
down to the creek. Lots of Tanagers line +
a few Lazuli Buntings. Shortly below here
the willows disappear and we entered the
Deep Springs valley. Birds seen along this route
in addition to those already mentioned were:
Red-tail & Sparrow Hawk, Vulture, Killdeer, Mourning
Dove, White-thr. Swift; Flicker, Sapsucker (sp - clumping);
Ash-thr. Flycatcher; Pewee; Olive-sided Flycatcher;
Violet-green & tree Swallows; Rovens; Mt. Chickadees,
Bresleets, Bewick's, House, Rock, and Canyon Wrens,
Mt. Bluebird; Ruby-c. Kinglet; Cedar Warbling;
