Elko Co., Nevada.
Sept 15, 1934
Left Wells on the U.S. Highway 93 Toward
Twin Falls. Drove about 10 miles N.E. of wells
to a thick stand of Junipers and Pinons
Hunted here all morning. There were lots of
Chukadees around, a flock of 150+ Onion
Jays flew overhead passing out of sight
but apparently soon returned and alighted
near me in some Onion Pines. I worked
over that way seeing several in the tree
tops apparently getting at the cones.
Then one came flying overhead and
in two or larger groups the flock
moved on calling hoarsely as they

Sparrow Hawk, Flicker, Raven, Hairy
Woodpecker
