Christensen, G. M. 1962 Journal 20 June Lexington Co., 6,700 ft., Quake Range, White Pine Co., Nevada Ron & I took the truck down the canyon several miles and called in chokecherry thickets & cottonwood groves all the way down to the place where the S. Fork joins this - the main canyon. Saw two more Yellow-breasted Chats, both were calling loudly & most of the time unseen in the extremely dense thickets. Warbling Vireos were the most abundant birds in the thickets with Slipping Sparrows, Rufous-sided Towhees and Sainis nest. I saw no Empidonax in this area. I collected one Hairy Woodpecker which periodically flew from the pinyon-jumper slopes to a large cottonwood. One flicker was also in the area. Shot at me Noble Jay & saw another. We were after specifically Calmnic Warblers - I heard & saw none. Collected two Bush-Tits and a small flock in a pinyon. The Sainis were always very agitated at squeeling. On 14 June we saw several Goldenmouthed Ground Squirrels in the immediate area of our camp. Ward said that this was the first they were seen. I have noticed only one or two others in the entire area. Antinias are seen & heard more often than the ground squirrels but both are in very low numbers. Today we saw a doe & 2 3-forked bucks - all the deer seem to be in red summer pelage - and bucks have velvet antlers
