Christensen, G. M. 1963 Journal 24 June 1/2 mi. E Witches Canyon, 7,760 ft., Spring Vitis, Clark Co., Nevada Birds seen in this juniper-pinyon forest: chipping sparrows (restricted to open areas near road), quailcatcher (frequent, some singing), Solitary Vireo (one seen was collected, silent, came in close), Broad-tailed Humming (frequent), chickadees (abundant), Black-throated Gray Warbler (several seen in pines & pinions, some singing also one "close" seen high in a ponderosa, not easily approached), white-breasted Nuthatch (2 seen, food in tree, not very vocal), Cassin's Finches (frequent, little singing), Pinyon Nuthatch (one family group seen in a juniper patch under a small "grove" of ponderosas -- seemed to be about 3 young), Sparrowhawks (a pair seen -- calling loudly, about a large ponderosa snag at lower edge of pine forest). No juncos seen. By far the most abundant bird in this woodland is Empidonax - they seem to be fairly evenly stational (4 collected). Shot & couldn't recover the one bluebird I saw here. Collected one of 3 thrushes seen here. Bush-tits seen in pairs & one group of about 15 calling loudly. At camp site collected more birds. Saw sapsucker again. Shot a junco (?) which was with another bird in small pine. Audubon Warblers are abundant about camp area; seems to be several pair of Broad-tailed Hummers about spring also. One flicker frequently seen. Clear all day, but relatively cool, little wind; cold after sun went down. Quiet night; no poor-wills, New moon in W. at 7 p.m.
