Lexington Creek, 9,300 ft., Snake Range, White Pine Co. Nevada
western tanager - seen in almost every situation.
Fringing & calling - usually seen
as swipes, but have seen 3 & 4's.
Mt. Eliskalce - most frequently encountered pi
forest bird. Mostly often in small
gramps, mark foliage closely -
infrquently in aspen groves.
I am surprised at the lack of birds in many
of the forested areas I've been in. Birds are not
abundant in the fir forests - but are in aspen.
Woodpeckers are noteworthy for their absence.
Few male green swallows a mile below
camp - none up here. Heard few par-cills
last night. Do and hunting this evening.
Few swallows seen this high (at camp).
