Bowman 1952 Journal 49. Sept. 10 16 mi. NE Pojoaque, 8750 ft., Santa Fe Co., New Mexico Gambel oak association (see photo 4/2). Commencing at 1:00 P.M. observed 3 "waves" of bird flocks moving through the pines. These flocks consist of Mt. Chickadees, Pygmy Nuthatches, Audubon Warblers and Brown Creepers. The direction of their movement was generally downhill along stream course compass. In the same area also observed Raven, Steller Jay, Red-tailed Hawk, Sparrow Hawk. Watched the Pygmy Nuthatches occasionally feed on the ground. The Brown Creepers were frequently quitied, and always would "work" on the opposite side of the tree to where I was located. The birds were difficult to located on the tree, and even though fired at once (amiss) they would remain on the same tree, apparently little disturbed. Saw atleast 5 Creepers. The Pileolotes Warblers were always to be found singly in the low scrubby Gambel oak, and were rather difficult to approach. The following temperatures were taken during the day: Species Temp Time Conditions Coniceps Junco* 41.8° C 8:15 AM alive Ruby-crowned Knight** 39.5° C 8:25 AM alive Brown Creeper 41.6°C 1:45 PM dead 15 sec. * Junco was imm. + molting. One hypoboscid fly flew from father. ** Knight was in full song. There were a few light rain showers in the afternoon, but clearing by sundown. Did not observe bats in the evening.
