dominant. Robins and Gray-headed Jays were
found mainly in the aspen-filled
meadows about 9000' (8500-9000).
Mountain Bluebirds and Chipping
Sparrows chose rather open places
away from the timber, usually where
sagebrush was abundant. The Warbling
Vireos present stayed near the Aspen
groves and sang from the uppermost
branches. Cassin Finches were abundant
in the stands of Fir, especially where
the trees were large and closely grouped.
Pine Siskins were spread over all of
the timbered hillsides. I shot one
but missed it. I saw a few
Greentailed Towhees in the valley floor
near the willow and sagebrush thickets.
I saw no Fox Sparrows, Stellar
Jays, nor White-breasted Nuthatches
in Scofield Canyon. Shot a Eulamia quadriae near camp.
In the evening I shot a Myolus
rolans (did not save it) as it
foraged around a dense stand of
large White Fir and Ponderosa Pine.
