a pair of Massena Partridges; and we all saw several Golden Eagles It was cloudy all day and in the afternoon a little rain fell. May 26. Howard and Will went collecting in the canyon south of us. They took two sets of Revoli Hummingbird, and shot both female birds, and a Long-crested Jay. May 27. Howard and myself went collecting up to the divide. In the box canyon, we found a nest of Painted Redstart, with large young in a place we pass every day. We found building two Core's Flycatchers' nest, on Hepatica Tonager, Plumbeous Vireo, Black- throated Grey Warbler, and Wood Pewee. The nests of the Core's Flycatchers were placed at the end of pine branches, high above the ground, and will be very difficult to get at. Howard went up to a Bridled Tit's nest that he found several days ago. He thought they were building but the nest contained large young. We took two sets of Long-crested Jay, and one of Arizona Game. We shot the female Gundo with the set, a Band-tailed Pigeon, and a Bowers's Sparrow. Near the divide I saw a Violet-green Swallow fly in a hole in a tree but it stayed in only an instant, and we did not stop to examine. There was a sort of blue 'flower de lis' growing very abundantly on a steep hillside near the divide. We each of us killed a small rattlesnake. Will went to the Fort after its mail and took two sets of Shore Larks.
