Christman, D.M. 1963 25 Journal 20 June 3 1/4 mi. N. Charleston Peak, 9,200 +/- ft., Spring Range, Clark Co., Nev. tumb, or had a wasp of ants in him - held together by a clear gummy substance. continued down canyon. Chipmunks high in fir trees (the pale sugar trembles, i.e.) the only creeper I saw. Saw a Nairy woodpecker fly to a snag with bark still on, but only in chunks - 35 ft. up was a hole & as adult approached young could be heard calling. Adult called frequently, I visited nest hole twice then walked slowly up the remaining 15 ft. of the snag where it called loudly. The tree was 30 yds up hill from the dry stream bed & surrounded by young firs. Walked down canyon - warbling Vireos & andubian Warblers singing. Empidonax everywhere - got a thrush. The attie, 2 sapsuckers flew into dead trees near me - didn't call. Trees near stream bed & most of bark still on them - in both cases birds lit 25-30 ft. up trunk. Only one junco seen. Logging muthatches far and number, white-breasted. Far fewer warblers here than in the sheep Range, no bl-thr, gray warblers seen. A Red- tailed hawk seen from top of ridge - its tail was a grayish pink. Empidonax by far the most abundant bird. At about 9 a.m. I heard a series of "hoots" which sounded like band-tailed pigeon - the noise came from up canyon. The Sharp have seen golden-mantled ground squirrels - I haven't -- some seem to be especially dark, atties lighter.
