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.
