DeBenedictis 1964 10 June Oasis to Deep Springs, Inyo Co., Calif. we had fairly good looks at both birds, then went on about 25 yards, when [try] began yelling about a Catbird which he could (but I couldn't, thus) see. However, I eventually figured out where it was, and we had fine views of it as it foraged on the ground along on the ground. It was all guy except for deep chestnut undertail coverts and a black cap. The bill [illegible] appeared even thinner proportionally than that of a mockingbird, and the bird was most unlike anything I had ever seen before. We were unable to find anything else odd here. There were a couple of Wilson Warblers and a few Tanagers due along with the Myrtle- cheers. We then went back to Deep Springs where we spent the rest of the evening. We couldn't find any of the vagrants we had located earlier, but we went to the area where Oliver was supposed to have seen a Catbird and tree. I heard a mimrid song. I peered into the tree whence the song came and spotted a second Catbird setting quietly on a branch, doing its best to stay out of sight. The chestnut under- tail coverts, short thin bill, and black cap were deanly seen on this bird as well. We didn't see much else here except a long-eared Owl, (also one at Oasis); these Owls are much paler, especially on the facial disk, than the other birds
