Sept. 8. 16 mi. NE Pojoaque, 8750 ft., Santa Fe Co., New Mexico.
Paleolated Warbler, House Wren, Mt. Chickadee, Robin,
Golden-crested Knight
Hairy Woodpecker, Plumbeus Vireo, Steller Jay, Junco
caneys
Chickaree, Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel & Chipmunk
Ground Squirrel was extremely fat. Juncos in large
flocks (20+) including juveniles & adults. Chickadees
seemed more common around our campsite than
in previous 4 days (colder weather?). Warblers were
not as abundant as in previous days. House Wrens
were still ubiquitous around riparian habitat &
mail fences & brush piles. Their habitat preferences
seemed to resemble those of the Song Sparrow which
species was absent from this area. Solitary (Plumber)
Vireo taken in riparian (alder) habitat. No other
members of this species detected. This is the only
vireo taken at this locality. The following
temperatures were taken:
Species Temp. Time Conditions
Paleolated Warbler 40.4°C 7:30 AM dead 15 sec.
Hairy Woodpecker 42.3°C 10:05 AM. dead 5 sec.
Broke camp at 2:30 PM and proceeded to Truchas.
3 mi. E of Truchas at 3:00 PM saw a flock of 80+ Band-
Tailed Pigeons in a grain field (harvested--only
stubble remaining) with about 20 sitting in neighbor-
ing yellow pine trees. The Black-billed Magpies (3+)
were seen in some general area, around human habit-
ations. Picked up mail & supplies at Cordova and
the proceeded along Forest Service Road, SE of Cordova
