Carr, Blair 1972 Journal May 21 3 mi. W. Samuel Pk., 6300', Lower Mts., Lincoln Co. Rev. climbed down, all the while the bird was still in the tree. I later saw a Cassin's Finch in an adjacent tree. 1:00 While the bird was off the nest, I climbed up to inspect it. There were two small (5/4") Eggs in it, light - almost white - but with a rose or beige cast, and unspotted. Took a short walk back on road and in creek bed along road. Saw a Western Bluebird 3' and a White-breasted Nuthatch, which was feeding on the trunk of a Ponderosa Pine. Six horses, seemingly unattended, but well kept, walked down the road. At camps, 3 more horses and half a dozen head of cattle were also moving down the road. Pinos Pk is mixed in with the Gambel Oak on the hillside, and there is occasionally a hilllope covered with Manzanitas at this locality. May 22 Awoke this morning at 6:00 A.M. Sky was clear, wind calm, and temperature 29° F. Since most of the vinees in the area had been taken, we headed back towards Sheep Springs. About 3/4 mile W. Samuel Pk.
