Canti, Blais 1972 Journal May 17 On Route from Berkeley, Califs to Lincoln Co, Nev. and Dr. Johnson pointed out a Bendire's Thrasher, on one of them I also saw a Mockingbird, Pine Jay, and a Zoggerhead Shrike in the same habitat. It was clear and sunny, and the wind was hardly blowing at all. We continued on Rt 25 to the Junction with Rt 93, then drove Through Caliente, stopping for gas, and drove, now North, past the junction of 93 and 25 (at Panaca) about 5 mi, turning west on the Caselfton Road. We drove about 6.7 mi north-west on this road and then turned onto a dirt road leading to "Wheeler Ranch" at the mouth of Water Canyon, Highland Range. Highland Range, Lincoln Co., Nev. at Pine Spring in Water Canyon, at 7400 feet, we stopped and walked around to survey the panorama. There was a moderately strong wind in the trees and the sky was clear, at 9:00 AM. Several large ponderosa pines were at Pine Spring but the surrounding slopes were clothed with Pineon Pine and Sclerophyll shrubs. Route of travel below. Distance between the springs is about 5 mi.
