July 2 cont. a Lazula bunting. I crossed the river found a number of small ditches and a pond that looked favorable for frogs and mosquitoes. There were no frogs seen but there were ample numbers of mosquitoes. There were a number of robins, many of them young; a flicker feeding on ant hill took to the trees on my approach. The 'streaming' of magpies up and down the gorge was interesting. They followed closely the bank or hill side near the upper irrigation canal a few in the lead would light in a cottonwood, those immediately following would proceed or part to the next trees and those following immediately after them would go on to further trees. There seemed no end to the stream. After a time those in the 1st cottonwood would interrupt the flight not necessarily with for the end of the line. In an half hour the parade started back over much the same route and varied it some by individuals sometimes
