Crowley 1942 May 29 Journal Cedar Grove, S. Fork Kings R., 4600 ft., Fresno Co., Calif. A Fox Sparrow sang from a perch on a Man-zanita bush, then from a rock by the side of the trail. Chickadees sang from the junipers. A Nuttall Flycatcher sang - - - (Mrs. D. [illegible] interpreted it as 'What peevs you?'), from a perch high in a Juniper tree at the junction of the Old Trail with the trail along the east fork of Sheep Creek. At 11:00 we heard Mountain Jaial from up the hill. At 11:26 we reached Summit Meadow, noted Lodgepole Pini, heard Hyla croaking from the marshy center of the meadow. Junipers and Robin's hopped about the edges of the snow. A Red-breasted Sapsucker worked up the side of a dead tree. He left the meadow and climbed upward to Lookout Peak, elev. 8547 ft., where we lunched and looked at the canyons and surrounding peaks: Gray Wolf Mtn, Mt. Gardner, Mt. Clarkes Nutcracker in deep trees near Lookout. Cotter Mtn. and Monarch Divide. He re-turned on a deer trail partway down the slope then cut across to the trail past Sheep Creek Falls - east fork. He saw the Calliope's nest, then returned to camp at 4:30 P.M. I skinned the Coronene caught in our traps earlier in the day. After dinner, F. Ojibwe, Jean Aussiele and [illegible]
