Christmas, Jm 1962 3. Journal 17 June Lexington Creek 8,300 ft., Snake Range, White Pine Co., Nevada Out early and followed the road which goes thru this camp area; it goes up hill to 5 & then 5k thru a fair forest which is fairly dense, but few really large trees. Went to new of slide to the east near another mine site - where I shot a clapping Sparrow from a short pine in a sage flat. Extensive, closed thickset of Mt. Monogany here. Went thru very dense blue forest with a few brittle cone pines to a sharp ridge to S. which over looks the new canyon to S. went down hill (to NE). Shot at a Breason Creeper but didn't kill it & it flew off - this is the only one see thus far. Want saw Ruby-cooured Kinglets was heard, but only one collected. I found that if I squeaks the Mt. Chirubales will come fairly close - sound when sounded like a nutcracker - ? These forests are not too filled with birds. Near more than once saw - saw one yellow-bellied Sapsucker. Aspens are pretty well limited to the stream flats - that is where Viscus gilinus & trepodytes acdon are found. Peaked up an Empidorax, Book at 11:30a.m. put up several & then at two went down the lies to the choke-cherry patch - no Zolnie warblers. Saw a Sharp-shinned Hawk. Collected one Violet-green Swallow - several were flying about a snag near the stream. A Broad-tailed Hummer about - diving. One Robin seen, was in Choke-cherry path & an Empidorax flew in - shot it. It is one of the gray ones - the patch is 75 ft. from stream but surrounded
