Benedict's 1964 22 11 June Deep Springs to Yosemite Natl. Park, Calif. again and heard it singing quite loudly. Thought I saw the Dickcissel again, but couldn't get a good look at it. We went from there to Big Pine, seeing a Clarkia on the road, and from Big Pine on north to Crowley lake to look for Sage Grouse along the W. side of the lake. We were unsucces- sful in this, but found a few Sage Thrashers and a Vesper sparrow nest with three eggs. It was cloudy here, and overcast. We went from here to the [illegible] end of Mono Lake and up over Tiroga Pass into Yosemite Park. Traffic was slow going through the gate so I got out and walked around in the nearly snow-free meadow area, finding only Downy Woodpecker, a Pine Grosbeak, 2 Mt. Bluebird, 4-5 Mt Chickadees, and a couple of Nutcrackers. We went from here down to Elure Flats. Birds were not very noisy, and there was not much unusual about. Found a Oregan Junco nest with 3 2+3 day old young; a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers tree and a single Antic 3-toed Woodpecker were found along the meadow edge. The meadows is completely snow- free now, and the grass is really coming up. Caught a Thamnophilus elegans but didn't keep it. We then went down to Yosemite Valley to look for Black Swifts and were able to find 6-8 flying through the spray in Bridalveil Falls. Hundreds of White-throats
