June 11, 3. mi. N., 1 mi. W Fort Clark, Old Monte Co., Caly., sea level.
This bird (still 505) had a very large head, which would not fit thru its neck, which tore, and a bare area on its throat even before stuffing.
June 12, 506 was singing from the same tree 495 had been. 509 was singing on a telephone wire along the road There were 2 birds, presumably ♀♀, where 506 & 495 had been. When I got 495, there was one other bird there. 510 + 511 were sitting together in a dead tree at the edge of a large thicket. 512 was at the edge of a pile of logs+roots resulting from a cleared area. This is the spot where I got 495, and there is still another bird bee; there were on the fence after I got 490. 513 is probably one of the birds which were left after taking 508. It was in the same place. It is a ♀ - but whether the mate of 495 or 506, I can't tell. 514 was singing from about 25 ft. up in a dead older snag. Saw a bird singing on a lupine, which flew to a pile of logs. As I approached, a bird, I think the same one, flew from the grass to this pile of logs. It is 515. 516 was singing from a redwood, 15 ft. up. This bird had an extra up-slurred note on the end of its song - -?--! 519 was obtained in the evening, as it sang from patches of high weeds in the pasture. Have saved a bottle of lice from these birds,
