June 22 2½ mi S, 5¼ mi E Detroit, 2000 ft., Marion Co. Oregon
The White-crests here seem to be all on the slope or on
the top just at the edge of the slope. The slope is S-
facing, so is sunny all day. Here the ground
cover seems densest, there being fewer open spaces
due to the logging operations. Chipping sparrows are
abundant here, juncos less so. There are several hawks
(4 at least). As I write this, all is very quiet, so
far as Zonotrichia goes.
June 23 Tooh a pair which fell in almost the same place. One
840-941 had had insects (?) in its bill. Late, got one of a
842.
pair which I chased for a long time, yesterday &
today. This appears to be all I can get from
this population. I've taken 10, and would
estimate the original population to be not over
ten pairs, perhaps not that many.
