Cognell 1949 Journal 123 Red Mtn., 5300 ft., 14 md. S Keyford, Trinity Co., Az. Sep. 10 (cont.) White fir forest in the upper end of Dubabella Creek canyon. There is a spring in this latter area which is larger than the one by our camp. It is apparently much used by cattle, deer, & birds; but no carniv- ore sign was noted near it. The stream below it is permanent for some distance, being about 3 inches wide at the bottom of a 6-foot entrenchment in the canyon. From here I climbed up thru open pine - cedar - barry oak woodland & manzanita- ceanothus shrubland on the S. facing slope beyond the canyon, which leads just E. of the narrow road which leads toward South Dubabella Mtn. (see Journal p. 116). I collected 2 Hermit Thrushes (see species acct). From the Dubabella Trail I followed along it to the Red Mtn. road, thence back to camp. noted 1 Tuleated wood- pecker & 4 Deer near the road. at camp in the late a.m. I stood by the spring squeaking up small birds; after I had about 20 chickadees & 4 or 5 nuttallies all noisily scolding me, a Sharp-shinned Hawk came crashing thru the trees after the birds (see sp. acct.) Spent rest of day skinning, not writing, peeling.
