15 June Leviston Creek, 8,300 ft., Smoke Range, Leviota Pine Co., Nevada
Collected down canyon 3/4 mile. The house coren
was with another & after I shot one the other fooled
around a 2" hole 10' up in an aspen. Saw 3 tanagers
shot one of all mine alone, & all in the pinyon. He
graybird was singing in an aspen with chokeberry
understory on gentle slope in canyon bottom - very
upon situation. There are two species (d. thinb!)
of Empidox in this canyon. A green-yellow
job lives in the aspen-fir forests and make more
noise. The gray ones are on the Artemisia slopes.
Back in camp it started raining in the early
afternoon & by early evening it was a light hake
or snow (no flakes) - cold as hell - after the
came of the mine came by we cleaned up & crep
into the old school bus & warmed up slightly.
16 June we woke up with 2 or 3 inches of snow on the ground.
Walked down canyon, but little activity.
The sepsucker was collected in a large fir
and was making a loud noise - the note
was a loud "clack"
