we saw it on a ledge of rock about 125 yards away. It was facing us, outlined against the sky, a little above us. I shot at it, and the ball passing through its wings and spine it dropped in its tracks and was dead before we reached it. There were a great many Pygmy Nuthatches around and I shot these. We also killed an Arizona Junco, a Chestnut-backed Bluebird, a Song-crested Jay, and a Broad-tailed Hummingbird. As we had to bring the deer back to camp we did not go any further. We saw what appeared to be a male Blue-throated Hummingbird. The others returned with an old Whip-poor-will and two young birds and C. H. Wood Peewee. They collected a set of Buff- breasted Flycatchers, the nest of which was placed high in a pine tree, but close to the trunk, and shot one of the birds. They also took a set of Black-chinned Hummingbird, California Woodpecker, and Western Wood Peewee. One of the Cord's Flycatcher's nest they went after was deserted, and the other turned out to be a Wood Peewee. They saw a pair of Virginia Warbler, which probably had young nearby; and a Bower's Sparrow. June 14. Howard and Will went down to the San Pedro River with its wagon, and Rising went over to Bear Canon. I stayed in camp alone, all day; and as none of the others returned, all night also.
