Banks 1959 35. Journal July 1 Haute Pass, 6197 ft. Chelan Co., Wash. The campground is about under 2 ft. of snow. Found a small clear area where I could set up camp, can't fire stove, I hope. It's clouding up now, may rain. Saw deer on the way up, there is a chipmunk at my camp. Not much bird life seen yet - Canada Jay, and a few sounds I haven't identified yet. There is a strong breeze from the west. 7:45 After unting the stove, took a walk toward Slate Peak. Saw a Chickaree in camp, saw a Robin, found its nest about 12 ft. up in a small fir. Several times heard Savannah Sparrow sing, but got only glimpses. Collected a fox sparrow. Chipping Sparrow + Vermit Thrush also sent heard. I got high enough to get into the clouds - it was misting, came back to camp, where it misted till I went to bed. But to 6500 or 6800 ft., I guess.

A few minutes after 2 get-up, a pair of Canada Jay and a Ruby-cra, Knight came thru camp, the knight with crest erect & scolding the silent jays. Oregon Junco here in camp also.
