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.
