(cont.)
Bird list continued:
Solitary Vireo
Red-Tailed Hawk
Accipiter sp.
[illegible] Garret-throated Hummingbird
Spot-crowned Woodcreeper
Whip-poor-will.
I had seen the Crescent-cheeked Warbler before but had been
unable to identify it because I had seen only juveniles? which
have a white throat rather than yellow and lack the crescent on
the chest. The Whip-poor-will flew over camp today.
Saw a couple of squirrels this morning - apparently
Sciurus geoffroyi.
Weather today similar to yesterday - clear in morning
with clouds way down below in valleys. By noon clouds
started to form over the peak and gradually we were fogged in.
It cleared slightly by supper time. Temp. quite warm today
in the sun. Cold tonight.
Camp ca. 0630, dusk ca. 1800.

species than the others we had caught on previous days. Ed
+ Duke did nearly as poorly, catching only a few animals + no
[illegible]. I returned before either of the others so I went back
