(cont)
Habitat here similar to Whorehouse Meadow but willows
found along creek instead of in wet meadow. We split
up here to look for Fox Sparrows + spent late morning +
early afternoon collecting - Bob got 6 + I got 1. We then
returned to the camper + moved down the road to take
tissues + skin birds for the rest of the afternoon.
Saw nests of tree swallows (ca. 2½ m. up in dead aspen)
and Junco today - Junco nest on ground in grass at
base of small ½ m. Aspen. Nest 3 in. external diam., 2 in
internal. Depth 1½ in. 5 eggs - eggs white w/ brown flecking-
flecking densest at large end. The female (?) flew off the
nest as I approached + stayed nearby scolding. Had a
Sharp-shinned Hawk attracted to my pishing.
After spending the day preparing skins we moved back
to Fish Lake Campground where we prepared a lot of
skeletons + had supper + went to bed.
