Journal 67 Wellow Creek (= Juckayou Creek) 1/2 miles W. of exit 93 Interstate Highway 40, Wellow Creek Ranch, Tazawa Co., Arizona. Elevation 4650 ft. August 15 In yesterday's notes, I forgot to mention that the rocky uplands above the creek drainage are covered with juniper sacroma. A vermillion flycatcher is indeed present. When not raining I worked my nets from 06:00 to 17:45. There were "fresh floss" x2 today, at 10:30 and 17:30, the latter catching one immature Scarlet Phalaris juvenile from the downstream net, which was always swept away, and certainly made filthy. I managed to catch 4 lesser goldfinches today. Weather - cloudy dawn, remained cloudy all day with the sun trackable through light clouds from 11:00 to 13:30. Very heavy rain fell from 14:30 to 16:30, accompanied by light- ing & thunder. Intermittent showers fell the rest of the day. Totals rainfall about 1/4 inches. Temperatures ranged 55°F - 70°F (sweetheart felt good all day). High winds out of SW, variable breezes at ground level, except strong gusty winds 10-25 mph near thunderstorms. August 16 I ran my nets all day, with middling success. Birds were more active today, as were birds. I moved the downstream net a bit closer to crops. Weather - last fog at dawn broke up by 06:00, revealing high thin clouds moving E -> W. US surface wind. Mostly cloudy 07:30 - 10:30. Mostly sunny 10:30 - 12:30, then mostly cloudy again to 15:00. Thunderstorms came near 13:30 - 14:40, but no rain here. Continued partly cloudy till sunset. Temperatures 55° - 75°F.
