Saw a white-headed woodpecker in red-fins below camp. July 29. Went with James to the foot of Gold Lake where we cleaned the car. I then walked up the north shore to the boat landing and back by trail to the lodge. Saw most of the birds listed before; also many Chipping Sparrows, A family of Violet-green Swallows circled about for some time near the shore, the young in dull plumage but all showing the white rump patches. With them were several dark skirts with brownish rumps which I took to be Vance skiffs. One crew was heard scolding but I could not see it - Many Green-Tailed Towhees, juncoes, Warblers (Calaveras and Audubon). July 30. As I was washing out some clothes on the edge of the meadow I heard the song of the Lincoln Sparrow. Later I walked along the road that goes to Round Lake, stopping to study the hummingbirds in the meadows where they were gathering honey from the Indian Paintbrush which was in full bloom. I could find nothing but Calliope's, many in rusty juvenile plumage - Saw several weazels. In a willow a silent flycatcher seemed to be a Trail. At the time spring birds came to bathe right at my feet: White-Crowned Sparrows, Audubon and Lutescent Warblers. Heard song of Ruby-crowned Knight did Henmit Prortier July 31. Awoke at dawn to hear a Great-horned Owl calling to the east of camp. Saw several Lincoln Sparrows, some young, in meadow. Heard Golden-Crowned Knights in fins at camps. Many Canada Marshhatch A Red-shafted Flicker beyond little Bear Lake flew up from enormous chest of wood cuto. Chickadees feeding young in nest (knuthole) in showerbath building.)
