Vireo nest, a short distance down the canyon, containing two pepped
egg, a young bird and a Dwarf Cowbird egg.
July 3. It rained almost all day, so we stayed in camp and skinned birds
July 4. Will and I went over to Bostwick taking his mail with us.
On the way over we could easily have killed a deer if we had
had rifle with us.
Bear Canyon is very steep and narrow and not very good as far as
collecting goes. We found a (?) [Hummer's nest just finished and
a nest of the Olivaceous Flycatcher, with nothing in it. We saw
Slender-billed and Pygmy Nuthatches, Hepatic Tanagers, Red-faced
Warblers, Redstarts, Wrens etc. In the evening we heard a Spotted
Cuckoo, and saw several Poorwills. When the others were
here they saw a number of Creepers but we saw none.
July 5. In the morning there were a good many Pigeons flying around
the spring. After breakfast we started for the divide. In a deserted
shaft, we took a set of three of Western Flycatcher. We went
up to the divide, and crossed over into Miller's Canon. Will
took a set of Broad-tailed Hummingbirds in a pine tree and caught
the old bird on the nest. We shot a Grosbeak, a Red-faced, and
a Virginia's Warbler, Painted Redstart, a Band-tailed Pigeon, a
Nuttall's Flycatcher, Dripping Woodpecker, Bridled and Lead-
colored Tit. Saw a great many Quail and Songbirds in
flocks, and I saw a nuttatch in some oaks at the mouth of
