Christeson, G.W. 1962 Journal 19 June Lexington Creek, 6,700 ft., Snake Range, White Pine Co., Nevada We drove the truck down the canyon to the point where a large side canyon comes in from the SW. - the elevation is as indicated. They let me and a mile below this point. The habitat is cottonwood along the stream (extended 10 ft., 10 ft. wide - stream 3-6 ft. wide 6"-2 ft.). Also shrubs from thickets in places & are almost impenetrable. -one plant is a rose, also a current, also a plant that looks like Baccharis. The river valley is about 100 yds wide covered with Antennaria tridentata and a broom of some sort. 2 hunted up canyon & meet Ward & Ron at the gate-fence. The sand Jay & shat was quiet & along the bank of the stream in thick under-growth. Two others were seen & I heard only one low subdued call. One Black Throated Gray warbler was seen high in a cottonwood. Several ravins were about the area. One nest was found 4 ft up in a cottonwood, over the stream in a tangle of branches. Bird flushed. It had no mud. Dry & compact. No eggs & clean. Squeeking was successful only with robins and open-tailed towhees. Saw a chat - very vociferous, shot at it at a distance & it flew off. Shot one bush-til out of a flock of 6-10. They were on the dry pinjon slopes and adjacent to the open gallery "forest". Saw & heard one woodpecker which called like rattallis but looked like a Nairy.. going across an open flat where the stream is extended deeply and covered completely with low "brush" - rose 15°
