and a set of Western Wood Pewee. In the afternoon Will went down the canyon. I took a set of Cassin's Kingbird, and shot both birds. He also shot a Baird's Wren and a Bridled Tit. In the afternoon there were heavy thunder showers. June 21. Will and I stayed in camp skinning birds, and the others went down to the valley. They shot three Shrikes and an Arizona Woodpecker. They also got a set of Hepatic Tanagers and shot both birds. In the afternoon I saw a Cal. Culebra in camp, and after some trouble, shot it. June 22. Will went after the mail today and the rest of us stayed in camp, I to skin birds, and the others to blow eggs. In the afternoon I went up the canyon and shot an Arizona Woodpecker and a Creeper. The creeper was just a little above the first mill, the lowest that I have yet seen any. I saw a few Pigeons at the spring but did not get any. June 23. I stayed in camp, and the others went up the canyon. It was blowing very hard and they returned early in the afternoon. They shot two Long-crested Jays, a Mexican Creeper, two Broad-tail and a female White-eared Hummer, a Pygmy Nuthatch, an Arizona Woodpecker and a Red-faced Warbler. They saw a Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher.
