Rising saw five deer. Saw a number of Cassin's and Warbling Vireos around the camps. May 10. We all stayed in camp all day, skinning birds, blowing eggs, and Cleaning thing up, and no collecting was done. May 11. Rising went to the fort after our mail, and the rest of us went Together up the canon. Will found a set of Lead-colored Bush-Tit and shot both birds. The nest was in a thin scraggly bush not more than two feet from the ground; a very different locality from the nest in California. Howard took a set of Song-crested Jays and found several nests con- taining one egg each. We shot two Flammulated Screech Owls, Three Core's Flycatchers and some other birds. May 12.
