christman, J. h. 1963 27 journal 21 June Macho Canyon 8,100 ft. Springuitus, Clark Co., Nevada with tell pine (panderosa) & white fir - of all age classes, Rabbit Brush, Pines, asps, etc. Glad in this w. tangeres area: Red-shafted Flicker, Broad-tailed Hummer & the juncos. Saw Red-tailed Hawks, Clark Nutcrackers, Chipping Sparrrows, Empidanes, Chickadees, etc. In camp by 11 a.m. At least a half dozen Nutcrackers have hung around the spring, making a huge variety of noises - they are not shy, although do not allow one to approach. Cassin Finches are the most abundant bird in the canyon & can be heard everywhere. Red-tailed Hawks seems to be stationed on large and trap - pines opposite camp - scream frequently. Green-tailed Tanulries abundant in dry open sites. 7:30-8:30 hunt = down canyon 3/4 mi. Shot a ? Bluebird (50 near by); Cassin Finches singing & flying about in huge numbers - (not in flocks, singles & 25, 33). Saw hairy Woodpeckers Violet-green Swallows (about 2 pairs in canyon). Flickers seem to be abundant (scared at camp spring during mid-day). Not as many Thrushes as at other camps, also fewer nut-hatches. Today I saw all species of conifers that we have thus far encountered. Juniper & Piñonite come out, of course, not numerous. Panderosa on drier, open sites and white fir in shadier, damper situations. Junipers & Piñon increasing in frequency down canyon. Much more Ribes & Aces here than other camps - but aspen are not in groves as at Nadder Forest & last
