Banks 1959 Anthus spinoletta July 2 Harts Pass, 6200 ft., Okanagan Co., Calif. - Obtained no. 665, which was sitting on a rock on the grassy hillside. When first seen it appeared to have a piece of grass (nesting material) in its bill. This is the only bird definitely of this species I have seen, although I thought this morning that one bird may have been a pipit. Later in the afternoon, at higher elevation as I climbed toward Slate Peak, saw several other pipits. July 3 Saw several other pipits today, in the small valley where I did most of my collecting. They were up further, where it was wetter and there was more water standing, and more snow yet.
