End of 40N 54, 1½ mi N + 2½ mi W Eaton Ph., 1830 m.
Sashayou Co., Calif. [T. 40N, R. 10W, SE ¼ sec. 14]

Here we prepared skins + skeletons until ca. 1600. I then
went out looking for Chickadees + Sparrows + found none.
I collected a Hummingbird because we had been wondering
if the ones we had been seeing were Rufous or Allen's. The
one I collected (DAG 105) was a Rufous. I returned to
the camper ca. 1750 + started writing notes. But soon
called my attention to a chickadee on the hill above the
camper which I collected (DAG 106).
Habitat here mostly fir (red) forest (with some pines, etc)
also extensive patches of high chaparral (consisting of
mangarita + Castanopsis + Ribes + Prunus).
Weather became quite hot toward mid day (up to 27°C
in the shade), no cloud over.
Lots of Sceloporus around. We were told there are a lot
of Catalius here but I haven't seen any.
Ca. 1830 we all went out after Fox Sparrows until
c. 2030. Then took tissues + ate at ca. 2130. To
bed soon thereafter.

account). We then drove back down to Ilewild Campground
(on the road between Etna + Sawyer's Bar. We there
