Violet-green Swallows.
June 5. Rising was the only one who went collecting today. He found
two nests of Red-faced Warbler, one of Arizona Junco, and found
two Painted Redstarts, each containing young but got no eggs and
shot no birds. The rest of us stayed in camp, skinning birds
and blowing eggs.
June 6. Will and Howard went to the Fort and Rising went over
the divide to the other slope of the mountains. Will and Howard
brought back eight sets of White-necked Raven, one of Swainson's
Hawk, and one of Vermilion Flycatcher. They shot three
Arizona Woodpeckers, two of them immature, a Vermilion
Flycatcher, and an Ariz. Goldfinch.
Rising shot a Stephen's Whip-poor-will, and a male Red-tailed Hummingbird.
On the other side of the divide most of the timber is pine, and he
saw few birds but Cow's Flycatcher, a few Band-tailed Pipits,
and some Long-crested Jays, of which he found two nests that he
could not get at. He also found a nest of Cow's Flycatcher.
June 7. Rising, Howard and Will went up the canyo, while I
stayed in camp and skinned birds. Rising went up a tree
to secure a Wren's nest that he thought he had located,
but in chopping into it, he was surprised to find a Flammulated
Screech Owl setting on two badly incubated eggs.
Howard and Will took a set of Plumbeous Vireos, the nest
