Aug. 24. 3 mi. SW Tree Pinedra, 9000 ft., Rio Arriba Co, New Mexico
a very few minutes in one tree, feeding actively all
the while. The Audubon Warblers seem to be the
most elusive warbler yet encountered. Vireos have
been met with only in aspen groves -- never in
pine or oak thickets. All the warblers collected
have been fatty on the feather tracts & around the
cloacales. The most fatty was the im. Pileolated
Warbler taken today. Pygmy Nuthatches are still
as abundant as ever & very responsive to "queek".
Other members recorded im Grosbeak (up?), Spotted
Towhee, Green-backed towhee, Tolsmie Warbler, Red-
noped Sapsucker, + this follo Bond-toiled Pigeon + Stupid
+ K Mt. Hule deer
