foot of the mountains, where we were protected from it. We drove up Ramsey
Canon about a mile and a half, as far as the wagon road went and camped.
On the way up Howard took a set of Ariz. Jays. We saw a great many
Bridled and Lead-colored Tit, and Black-throated Grey Warblers.

some Scott's Orioles, a pair of Long-crested Jays, a flock of Band-

Saw a pair of Rivoli Hummingbirds but did not disturb them.
Spent most of the day in putting up the tent and fixing the camp.
Apr. 26. Howard and Rising went collecting, leaving Will and myself in camp

a Flammulated Screech Owl, a Townsend's, a Western and a Black-
