July 4 { near Sugar Bowl Lodge, 7000 ft., 1.3 mi. 5SW Donner Pass, July 11 Placer Co, Calif - 2 singing from tall thickets of July 13 willow in wet meadow and from clumps of July 17 firs nearby. These are new arrivals I am sure, for none were heard here on 3 or 4 visits during the last 2 weeks. Their singing is persistent & localized in area, so perhaps they are defending territory - alls doubt fully nesting at this altitude. The leaves have just nicely gotten out on the willows.
