Crowley 1942 Journal May 24 Cedar Grove, S. Fork King R., 4600 ft. Fresno Co., Calif. Species seen Coast Steller Jay Western Tanager Gray Squirrel Chickaree Sceloporus Chipping Sparrow Wood Peewee Cassin's Purple Finch White-headed Woodpecker Hairy Woodpecker Coyote (?) May 25 Cedar Grove, S. Fork King R., 4600 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. At 6:45 a.m. Redon and I took the trail up to the falls on the east fork Shyp Creek. At 7:00 saw Robin, Western Tanager, Steller Jay in juniper just east of camp. White-throated Swifts were darting about in the clear blue, sunny sky above. At 7:35, I left Marie at the Calliope's nest and climbed up the trail past the Falls to the snow. A pair of Oregon Junco was perched in a bark above the trail. Despite the early hour, practically all the birds had stopped singing. It was not until I got near the snow that I heard the Viced and Calaveras? or Vermit Warbler, which perhaps sing all day anyway.
