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.
