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.

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.
