May 24 Hossah, 3600ft, Iris, Irie & Hobart Mills, Nevada C, Calif.
and the hill on flatland adjacent is covered
with sage or sage + pine. The stream
valley, in fact the whole area, has been
grazed, but not too recently.
Middle Marts C., 6000ft, 4mi E, & 2mi S Truckee Place, Ca, Wolf.
Spent 3pm - 4:30 looking around here. We were
right on the edge of Marts Valley. The valley floor
is pretty flat + sage covered, the slopes pine
covered. Several streams in area have willow
and/or aspen along them - on this stream, as
it got higher there was more aspen, but
was thicker - saw no White-Crowns here.
Downstream, where there was sage on one
side of the creek, there was more willow,
less aspen - saw birds here.
The following list of birds seen is from Hossah
C., with 'X' meaning also seen on Marts C.
