May 25 Cedar Grove S. Fork Kings R., 4600 ft. Fresno Co., Calif.
bird with a warbler-like bill, larger than
a Warbling Vireo, with a yellow-green head,
grey green sides, pale yellow underparts and
a patch of yellow under the tail, and
two white wing bars was working on the ground at the end of a fallen log. It flew
into an oak, when I came along the trail.
A Wood Pewee from a point in an oak
gave forth with a whit! peeur! Calif.
Jays screamed and flew from treetop to
treetops. Another pair of Junco was seen.
A Warbling Vireo gave forth a whit!
whit! from an oak. It fled off the under
side of oak leaves in a little divide
between the slopes of the mountain. Its
song was Z Z V like Purple Finches -
warble. A pair of Hairy Woodpeckers
flew from Yellow to Sugar Pine. A
(Sierra) Creeker worked up the trunk of
a Yellow Pine. A Wood Pewee and
Chickadees called. Hearing the snow, I
saw a Grouse whip off the hillside
into a shady ravine, with dense cedar
and Ceanothus. A Hermit Warbler
worked about the outer branches of a Jeffrey
Pine, while a Western Tanager perched
in the same tree, on a bare branch.
