Miller Canon. Rising took a set of Scott's Oriole with the male bird. Howard took a set of Plumbeous Vireo, but did not get the birds July 6. Will and I stayed in camp skimming birds and the others went up to the divide collecting. They took one set of Bluebirds and two of Cora's Flycatcher. They shot a male Rivoli Hummer, a Bluebird, two Cora's Flycatchers, and a number of other birds. July 7. Rising was the only one to go collecting. He got a set of (8) Hummer, and shot a Rivoli Hummer, some young Virginia Warblers and some other birds. July 8. Rising went to the post after the mail and the rest of us stayed in camp. We sold wagon, horses and harness to York at the mouth of the canyon, for $100. Rising shot two Dwarf Cowbirds, a Black-throated Sparrow, a male Vermilion Flycatcher, a Nutting's Flycatcher, and a male Texas Woodpecker. July 9. In the morning Rising and Howard went after a Scott's Oriole's nest that Rising had found. After that Will and Howard went over to Cars Canyon. They took a set of Rivoli Hummingbird and a set of Broad-tail Hummingbird, getting the female with each set. They found a Pigeon nest containing one young one, and a Cora's Flycatcher's nest containing young.
