Chickadees, 2 W. Bluebirds, 2 Robins, 1 Bushtit and 5 Fox Sparrows (See R.M. Zink catalogue). One Fox Sp. was partly aberrant. While out collecting I came upon a Mt. Chickadee nest (see sp. account). I also found the nest of a Red-breasted Sapsucker (ca. 10m up in fir (?) tree) and a White-headed Woodpecker (ca. 3m up in stump). I also came upon a Kestrel which was not pleased w/ my presence + probably had a nest in the vicinity. A pair of Sharp-shinned Hawks was also present in the area. Deer are very numerous in the area and not very wary > on foot, one can approach to within 50m. Weather cleared up by mid morning and became quite nice. Temp up to 10°C in wind, 15 in shelter sun. started out ca. 7:57 cloudy, cleared up after an hour. 26 June Up ca. 0630 - weather clean + rather cold. Went out collecting Chickadees for a couple of hours (got 3) then back to camp to help take down the mist nets until the chickadees needed tissues taken. When I had finished the chickadees (ca. 0830-900) we left and went to Wildwood for breakfast. Then we moved on to the next locality to look for Wrentits : ½ mi. S + 1 mi.
