Flyealetus, an Ash-throated Flyealetus, two Bridled Tits,
Two Baird's Wrens, a (?) Hummer and a Shore Lark. They

a Western House Wren, a Cuckoo, and an immature
Virginia's Warbler.
Willard and I walked down the Canon, after skinning
what birds we had. We saw a male Scott's Oriole,
which I shot at and missed, and a good many Olivaceous
Flyealetus. They seem to be coming in here as do the
Goldfinches.
July 2. In the morning Will went over the cliff to the Swift's nest

right-hand Canon and brought back about twenty-five birds
among them a male Riooli Hummer. They found a Band-tailed
Pigeon's nest with one young bird, and a Cnis Flyealetus and
a Plumbeous Vireo, each with young. Will found a Plumbeous
