Journal Beaver Creek Wildlife Management Area, 10 miles NE of Canon City, Fremont Co., Colorado. Elevation 6100 ft. June 19-23 until noon, then solidly cloudy the remainder of the day. (cont) There were more-or-less continuous showers from 15:10 to 17:30, then a cloud burst from 17:30 to 17:50. Lightning flashed seemingly very close several times. After the downpour, it rained intermittently to 19:30. Winds were variable 2-5 mph except near thunderstorms, when they were much higher and gustier. The temperature ranged from 60-75°F. On June 20, I spent the day running nets, beginning at 05:15, and recording and putting up specimens. Owing to winds, nets were closed 14:15 to 17:00, and closed for the day at 19:30. Cardinals are indeed plentiful, and I secured 5 petrins and one pinto today, a pretty good day. Weather June 20, 1991 was clear in the morning with intermittent light NE breezes switching to SW 5-10 mph @ 10:00. The afternoon was partly cloudy, mostly cloudy from 13:45 to about 17:00. A thunderstorm threatened around 15:30, but this brought only high winds and scattered drops. Temp. range today was 55°-85°F. On June 21, I again spent the day running between nets until about 11:00 when I had to leave goldeneyes to record & prepare and a pete siskin to take care of. I resumed the nets at 18:30, but higher winds increased net visibility and I caught no late birds. John Rodriguez, Colorado Division of Wildlife officer I called from the BLM office for notification of collecting activities in his jurisdiction, paid a visit, checking my permits and looking at my field set-up. This visit lasted
