11 June Yosemite Natl. Park, Calif.
and 50+ Violet Humming Swallows also here. Saw a ?
Calliope Hummer at Rocky point. We ate in the
valley, then went up to Perego Meadow to look
for Great Gray Owl, which only Greg saw. There
is fresh snow in the forest but none in the meadow.
Vegetation has advanced considerably from two
weeks ago. Found a ? Williamson sapsucker in
a nest hole, and Haig's feeding young. Saw
2 Liana nivosora but no sign of Burro. After it

find some owls. We heard 2 Saw-whet (again)
2 Flammulated, and a Spotted but saw none.
Lots of bats out. Had something jumping around
in a tree, chattering but couldn't even eye it.
Spent the night here. Here

The next A.M. got up well after sunrise,
and kids were going full blast. We didn't stay

At Perego we had good looks at a ?
Arctic 8-toed Woodpecker and heard an owl.
Owl not cooperative. More Ruby-crowned Kinglets
singing now than in late May. Heard Mt.

No Wilson Warblers this year but lots of
