Little Lake, Calif. August. 4, 1933. Spent the early morning hunting in the scrub oaks on the north shoot between the two lakes. The absence of birds was notable, they seemed to all be fading in the willows and small poplars about the lake shore. All that was noticed was a pair of Black-headed Grosbeaks feeding in the tops of some of the pines. After breakfast I went for a hunt over the south shoot and on to the canyon wall. On the north side of the shoot I saw a pair of Clark's crows feeding on the juniper. They were carrying the burs from the bush and flying into a neighboring pine to dig out the seeds. At the top of the shoot I shot a 346 from another juniper bush. It proved to be an immature individual. Returned by way of the river below the shoot. Hunted for bats in the evening. Shot one Mexican Nuttail. It was flying high about the pine tree.
