Crowley 1942 Journal May 25 Cedar Grove S. Fork Kings R., 4600 ft. Fresno Co., Calif. arrived at camp at 11:5 AM. Marie had not yet returned (I was supposed to meet her at the Calliope's nest but had not seen her). So I raced up the mountain again to the Calliope's nest and back down to camp, getting there at 12:15. Marie had arrived in the meantime. After lunch, Mr. Dixon took us to Gramwalt Meadow; (1:00 P.M.). He drove to the point at which Kings R. makes a right hand turn. After parking the car, we took the trail past Brown's River falls, east along Kings River to Gram- walts Meadows. On route we saw place where deer had been pawing for fungi. We heard a Warbling Vireo. Mr. Dixon shot a 7 or Sparrow. He set traps about homes of Neotoma streatori. Mr. Dixon pointed out the "Jimmie bird," the Cassin's Vireo. He saw a White-headed Woodpecker. Mr. Dixon shot a Marble-Faced. Redwing Blackbirds flew about the meadow. A O'Allan Hummer was flying about perches at the east end of the table slope. He reached the middle of the meadow by scrambling over the tables at the base of the mountain. He reached a patch of meadow, with grass, cattails and willows. I set 4 Museum Special Traps.
