Several pairs of Wright's Flycatchers occupied the stands of White Fir and Limber Pine (L. aristata present in small numbers). Violet-green Swallows rested in the high cliff areas from 9500 to 10000' where White Fir grows in the crags in the slopes. Couldn't find any Stellar Jays anywhere in the firs and pines!! Crows were sparse, but a few were seen in the canyon. Pinyon Jays were present at the ecotone of the Pinyon fir, and that utilized only the Pinyon. The most conspicuous Corvidae was the Clark Nutcracker which was found throughout the timbered hillsides. Mt.

The Hermit Thrush required a certain amount of dense cover where shade was abundant. They were found also in thick stands of Mt. Mahogany. Creepers were present in small numbers as were Red-breasted Nuthatches, the latter being especially noted where White Fir and Limber Pine were equally
