1950
Dendroica nigrescens
June 23 N side Bear Valley, 4685 ft., Nevada Co. Calif. - 1 ♂ seen &
heard singing in large black oaks just within yellow
pine - mixed cedar forest near large grassy meadow.
on S fork Yuba R.
June 30 Big Bend Camp Trl, 5770 ft., Glacier Co. Calif. - 1 ♂ seen in
dense forest of white fir, Jeffrey & lodgepole pines near
an alder bordered stream. It was foraging in the
lower & middle part of the canopy of 40-70 ft. firs,
giving only the "tiip" call note. I do not think
this species nests here, for I have visited the area
several times in summer of 1948 & on June 17, 1950,
without finding any singing or nesting.
July 7 - none found at the Bear Valley locale of June 23.
[nor at subsequent visits here on July 21, Aug. 4
Aug. 11 just N Big Bend Camp Trl. [see above] 5850 ft. - 1 ♂
seen in dense shrub area under power lines;
mixed hard & soft leaves
conifer forest + few, scraggly black oaks nearby.
when we approached the bird flew into lower
branches of the oaks & finally on toward taller
pines. No song given.
Aug. 17 Hampshire Rocks, 5900 ft., on S fork Yuba R., Glacier Co. Calif.
1 ♂ seen foraging about upper branches of
scattered Jeffrey & lodgepole pines in mixed
conifer & cottonwood stringers on rocky flat near stream
Aug. 18 near Sugar Bowl Lodge, 7000 ft., 1.2 mi. 55W Donner Pass,
Glacier Co. Calif. - 1 ♂ seen with other warblers, in
dense red fir - lodgepole & silver pine forest.
[the last 4 records all probably, & the last 2
certainly represent up-mtn. post-breeding movement]
