I limit
Little was heard until I needed the main road. I walked
west along the road, about 50 feet from the shoulder.
I soon came upon a "Phoebe" like bird setting on the
top of a 20' high dead linton pine. He gave a
single, rather harsh note while he flicked his tail.
He was gray, with a hint of a crest and hint of
spotting on breast. Slightly farther on, and away from the
road, I saw quailows flying ahead. A low (4')
dead tree about 5" in diameter had a hole in
it, so I "shoed" and two quallaws
hovered around the tree, sometimes sitting on
it. I attempted to collect one, but, not
following the pattern thrown by my 2" 6/1.38,
I missed. I assume these were Violet-green
Swallows, for some had white extending over
their rump. The following species were seen:
Violet Green Swallows - calling in flight.
Common Raven - in pines at dawn.
Western Bluebird, Rofeous-sided Towhee
Plain Titmouse, with food at hole in dead PonderosaPine
Chipping Sparrows (?)
CASSIN'S FINCH
Grace's Warbler
