Behle 1934. 240 Springer Spring, 7000 ft., Wash Nat., Lincoln Co., Nevada Sept. 25, 1934. Upon reaching the top of the ridge some yellow Pines were sighted but a mile further south. Dropped down to the bottom of the canyon west of our camp. Numerous prospect holes and shafts around. On the canyon floor saw a flock of 12+ Bush-tits and shot a pair of Vermivora celata cresteri Proceeded south and east. The canyon heads in a low saddle between the northernmost and middle peak. It is just west of the middle peak that the best stand of yellow Pines occur. Here are also some White Firs. These conifers cover 3 or 4 miles but individual trees are scattered scarcely 50 yards apart. In an open shallow canyon I believe called One Canyon where a saw mill was once located I observed 2 Townsend Solitaires, 2 red-shafted Flickers, 1 White-crowned Sparrow, 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet, 1 House Wren and 1 Rock Wren. Near the saddle previously mentioned two white-breasted Nutchatchers were shot from a yellow Pine and a Spotted Hawk was taken flying overhead. Altitude was 8200 at the western base of the center peak.
