TRACHET, J. 1991 Journal Chew Ranch adjacent to Quarrel location of Divisional National Forest- mounts, Uinta County, Utah. Elevation 5000 ft. June 11-17 in a grassy wood planted in an irrigated field. This nest was (Crith) visited by two males. All three were netted by late afternoon. (Fra S.A.) Many of today's captures were not readily vocal, and were kept alive for recording & specimen preparation on June 17. I took down the BLM land note at dusk. The weather June 16 was warm, a carbon copy of yesterday's; lacking only the close-passing late afternoon thundercloud: Temps 45-80°F, light NE winds, low humidity; very few clouds all day. I stayed in camp all day June 17, inside the tent most of the day. I spent a little time recording goldfinches, looking at mist notes from my camp (closing up both at 09:30) and emerging periodically to stretch my limbs. Inside the tent I put up goldfinches captured on BLM land yesterday & write up notes for this field site. The weather observations made today were less detailed: it was mostly clear, temps, range 50-85°F, low humidity, winds light. I departed from camp after bathing in the creek below and thinking cars. Clear, leaving at 20:30. Species list for Chew Ranch & vicinity: auks: Bufo sp reptiles: Sceloporus undulatus Utah stansburiana Cnemidophorus sp Thamnophis sp - DOR Pituophis melanoleucus
