Birds 1960 Junco Oregonus June 7 Dean's Meadow, 6400 ft., Lassen Co., Calif. - flushed junco from nest containing 3 eggs, at base of 3-ft. pine. June 9 Bogard Campground, 5600 ft., Lassen Co., Calif. - At 12 o'clock noon walking across the sage flat just after dark, 9 pm., a junco fluttered out across the ground from about 6 ft to my side. It did not fly until I shined my light on it. Found a nest with four eggs in a clump of sage. June 10 Saw bird under pine gathering very fine grass- like material, presumably for nest building. June 16 1 mi W Crescent Lake, Klamath Co., Oregon - Flushed a ♀ from a nest in a hollowed out cavity under the edge of the road bank, on the road to Summit Lake. 4 eggs. Collected her. She had landed in the road, then flew to a small pine and was chipping. June 21 7½ mi S, 5½ mi E Detroit, 2000 ft., Mariona Co., Oregon Found nest with 4 eggs. Both adults flushed from within a foot of each other.
