8mi. N + 6mi. W North Yolla Bolly Mtn., 1480m, Trinity Co.,
Calif. [T. 25, R. 11 W, NW¼ sec. 3]
24 June (cont) albinoistic Fox Sp. Susan had shot. While out I found
a road-killed chipmunk (which Susan later identified
as a Townsend's) and shot a Red-breasted Sapsucker. I
returned at about 2000. and immediately went out again
to check the mist nets. They had caught an immature
Orange-crowned Warbler, a Dusky Flycatcher and a Fox
Sp. We released the Warbler + Flycatcher + kept the Sapsucker
for learytyping tomorrow morning. I returned to the
camper ca. 2045 and took tissues from the Sapsucker.
We then had supper and I shunned the Sapsucker
(using NKI's methods instead of Bot's for the first time
with any success.) Bob + Susan went to bed about an hour
ago (it is now 2315) and I am about to follow suit.
Weather today cold + still in the morning at Anthony
[illegible], Cool + slightly breezy this evening at Yolla Bolly.
25 June Up 0645. Weather- heavy overcast + mist. I immediately
went out looking for birds but had little luck until the sun came
through the clouds ca. 0730. Eventually got 2 W. Bluebirds,
4 Chicksadees + 1 Fox Sp. Returned to camper ca. 0800 to take tissues.
Spent the rest of the day in + out of the camper taking care of
the birds + going out collecting. Also checking nets periodically.
The nets caught a variety of Fox Sparrows + Warblers (Yellow,
[illegible], Nashville) and near dusk 1 4 Chicksadee (DA6 88)
