Benedict's 1964 20 11 June Deep Springs, Inyo Co., & Oasis, Mono, Co., Calif. Feathers of the Buntail showed much blackish coloring. It sang for a while then disappeared. I saw no other Buntings here. There were two or three Mac- Gillivray Warblers in the low trees here, a few W. Tanagers, and Guy discovered a male Black and White Warbler working in the trees when the Catbird was. The Warbler had a black throat, its distinct black & white streaking was clearly noticeable. It was singing a quiet rambling, "wee see wee say way so" song audible only at close range, and did not especially restrict its activity to creeping as the species usually does. We did not find much else here unusual except for a Nutcracker and 3 young Long-eared Owls. We went to Oasis Ranch, where similar changes in the area fauna were apparent. Flycatchers were scarce, although there were proportionally more Westerns. No migrant Warblers, but a few Tanagers still about. Saw one Long-eared Owl. Found 3 or 4 Buntwigs where we saw them yesterday, plus at least 2 Cassin's Kingbirds. These were in a tree with 2 other Kingbirds, which looked the same; only two called. The four birds together could mean either non-breeding or that this was a boundary between territories. Elsewhere Kingbirds were also Western by tail pattern and calls. Not much else of note here. We went back, stopping at Deep Springs briefly. I found the B & W couple
