Also I saw a single Hairy Woodpecker
in a dense, pure stand of White Fir.
Saw Chickadees nested at the sawmill
in the buildings there. 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. Chickadees, Ruby-crowned
Kinglets, Hermit Thrushes, and Audubon
Warblers were common residents over
all of the Fir stands. 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
