Grun 1927 3. San Miguel Island Southern Calif. Sept. 18, 1927 We left Santa Barbara in the early 4m. The boat was a small fishing boat piloted by a Chas. Hanam. We saw num- erous Shearwaters and Petrels all the way across. We shot several Shearwaters. When we were about two thirds of the way across it was quite windy causing the water to be very choppy. We arrived at 1:30 p.m. The coke is very windy. We had time to unload and take one sled load up to the Ranch House. The road is very steep and narrow. The sled is drawn by a single horse and con- sequently only 150 lbs. may be taken at a time. We had time to take only one load up to the house as it is a mile and a half from the

June 1927 Colorado River Lower Calif., Mex. 20 miles S. of Pilot Knob. Oct. 11, 1927 We arrived here at noon today. The weather is speedily warm and the mosquitoes numerous. The spot is called Pescadero slough. There is a long levee here, about two a mile & a half long. During the flood season there are many men here fighting the river. But just now there is only one mach- man here. The land here is river bottom land with tules over 15 ft high where there is seepage thru the levee. On these tules there is a continuous chorus of Blackbirds, in the evening when they arrive here to roost. There is a water tank here standing by the railroad which runs to Andergo. It is owned by the C.& M. outfit and they also own almost all of the land this side of the river as far as 15 to 20 miles below the border. This land is covered with cotton plantations, making it

Green 1927 Colorado River Lower Cal., Mex. Oct. 14, 1927 very impractical to collect further north. There are many bats which spend the day under a tank here. They flew out in numbers of about 25 in a bunch, it would estimate that there were at least 75 under there. The tank is about 20 ft from the ground. It is on the underside of a reinforced platform of boards that they were clinging to. There were at least a dozen night hawks flying around bright as twilight came on. They all flew high at first but slowly coming lower to about 50 ft. off of the ground. I saw about 6 large white egrets on the river looking N. east from the levee. Also a few great blue herons and a few yellow legs. Here are Red winged Blackbirds and Yellow headed Blackbirds here. I saw Marsh Hawks, Black Phoebe, Scared Rock were & toulbee. There are 29.

The dryer part of this land covered with a dense growth of arrowweed. The slightly moist sections being covered with tall willows about 15 to 20 ft tall. As we drove along the road a quarter of a mile from here through these tall willows, which hung over the narrow road, many small wick worms & and hairless cater collars were brushed off of the willows in to our laps. more: I set out 25 traps tonight near camp on the edge of a clearing on the border of a hearty growth of arrow weed. 743 Lizard.

Green Colorado River 1927 Lower Cal., Mex. 20 mi. S. of Pilot Knob Oct. 13, 1927 The muskrat that swam a way swam very fast out into a 5 or 6 mile current and turned right at home. The birds are plentiful enough but on the dryer portion of land the arrow weed and willows afford wonderful concealment and I think any stalk which I tried to make. The river travels at a rate which makes it impossible to recover anything which should be shot over it. The swamps are so thick with tall bulrushes that one cannot penetrate them with any favorable results. It gets very hot here in midday and there are plenty of mosquitoes. I saw another muskrat which Mr. Kane shot at but missed as it half swam down the river. I saw a half dozen red runners today around

I went to the spot and found nothing which in my mind would attract them. My conclusion is that they were resting on the shady side of the levee as it was cool and in the open where they had clear visions. This was about 30 minutes after sunset.

We managed to go the next 10 miles without getting stuck again as the roads had dried considerably. We saw a dozen Palms in a caynon from the road at the side of the Laguna Salada. We had gathered information that this was the only water unless we went 30 miles further south to Guadalupe Canyon. The country here is desert acacia association, the plant life consist of Palmerde, Chonwood and an occasional mesquite further out east nearer the Laguna. The hills here rise abruptly from the desert valley and

"Green" 1927 200 ft. Las Palmas Canyon West side of Sagana Salada 15 mi. South of North End. Lower Calif., Mex. Oct. 29, 1927 shoot as he calmly started to walk away. Luckily I had a big load in my gun and when he had walked away enough to that I wouldn't shoot him badly I shot. I found he had a straight cut on his left hind foot and a very bad looking sore or bruise on his left hip. This probably was caused from a fight. There is no water around for at least 200 yds. and yet he was very wet up to the middle of his body. He must have been pretty sick as when I came to him he was moving his intestinal anatomy and his head in a most peculiar manner. There was no poop or droppings of any kind within ten yards of him. We believe this coyote was the same one Mr. Lamb shot at this afternoon. He seemed to be after the rabbit which had just been prepared for eating. I also saw several swallows to clay.

1913 W. Gruinell Guerneville, Sonoma Co. Calif. June 10 We are located at Monte Rosa (formerly known as Summerland), a small resort about one and one- half miles west of Guerneville, which is our postoffice. The country here is Transition, with a strong infusion of Sonoran elements. The hillsides are thickly covered with a mixed growth of young redwoods, Douglas spruce, Madrones, manzanita, and hazel- brush, with an occasional clump of huckleberry or poison oak. The meadows are dotted over with huge blackened redwood stumps, many of them partly overgrown with poison oak or wild blackberries. The creek is lined with willows, cottonwoods and alders, azaleas along its borders are in full bloom now. Of birds, I have seen California and coast jays, song sparrows, brown towhees, thrushes, chickadees, Allen hummingbirds, Vaux swifts, valley quail and a belted kingfisher.

Chipmunks (Eutamias hindsii) are abundant. On the sunnier hillsides gopher and mole workings are num- erous, as well as in the garden of the resort. Trapping in the garden has brought in a mole and a gopher. The mole was caught in a trap set under a mound of fresh earth, which looked like a gopher's working. A line of traps set along the fence at the edge of the pasture has yielded one Peromyscus boylei, gopher ♀ 101. mole ♀ 102. June 11. Bats are flying every evening. Only two sorts have been so far observed, a long-winged kind, two examples of which may be seen every evening flying

Last evening the last rays of sunlight left the hill- top at 7:25 P.M. and the first bat was seen at 7:45. None were observed after 8:30 P.M., although I watched until 9:00 P.M. June 12. Went up to "Gabriel's Rock", the highest point about here early this morning. The steep south-facing slope near the summit is purely riparian Sonoran, greasewood, mimulus, and poison oak being the most abundant shrubs. The greasewood was in full bloom.

H.W. Grinnell - 1915 Yosemite, Calif. June 10 Went out nest hunting from 6:30 to 7:30 this morning. The first nest found was that of a chipping sparrow. This nest was about two feet up in a young incense cedar and was a well-built and rounded cup of dry weed stems, lined with horse hair. The mother parent was brooding 4 greenish blue eggs, speckled around the larger end with black and brown. The next tree stood in a gravelly clearing a quarter of a mile back from the river. The second nest found was that of a spurred towhee, which flushed from almost under Stuart's feet. The nest was a deep cup of pine needles, bark, and grass stems and was lined with fine round grass stems and a little black horsehair. It was situated among the straw- berry plants under a small choke cherry bush. The four eggs were of creamy ground

H. W. Grinell - 1915 Yosemite, Calif. Color, thickly and finely spotted with reddish brown. June 10 The third nest was one foot up in a thimbleberry bush in a thicket near the stream's edge. It was made of pine needles, grass leaves and stems, and lined with round grass stems and black horsehair. The single egg was about the size of that of a chipping sparrow and was creamy white with brown splotches around the larger end. A northern pileated wood- pecker was seen in a tree top, and a flock of six brand-tailed pigeons flew overhead. June 12 We visited the chipping sparrow's nest this morning and found the parent sitting. She did not stir until my face was within 18 inches of her, when she slipped off the nest and onto a branch 3 inches beyond it, where she remained until

H. W. Grinnell - 1915 Yosemite, Calif. we left her. A visit to the spurred towhee's nest showed both parents about and scolding vigorously. June 12 The nest in the thistle very fresh held three eggs this morning, but again the parent eluded us. At the base of a small stump among the ferns we found a fourth nest under a dried fern leaf canopy. This nest was a deep cup of bark lined with fine round grass stems. The Parent whizzed away, flying low among the ferns, before identi- fication was possible. The four eggs were slightly smaller than those of the Spurred towhee and were bluish white finely speckled with reddish brown, especially around the larger end. Near this nest we found the dried remains of a flying squirrel upon the ground. A golden crowned kinglet

We watched for some moments a spotted sandpiper as it teetered on a sandy shore twenty feet away from us. june 17 visited six nests today; found the spurred towhee's nest (nest 2) empty. There were four eggs in the warbler's nest (no 3) but the parent bird again escaped unseen. I startled an adult ginnco from her nest, which contained one egg and three newly hatched young, which were covered with dark gray natal down. The nest was on the ground at the base of a bent over brush. Across the single starting stem of the little bush (pine?) needles were arched back and forth completely hiding the nest from every point of view save one, and the observer must stoop to see it from that side. It was too dark in the little cavern to enable one

Grinnell -1915 Yosemite, Calif. 11 to see what material was used in nest construction. Wild strawberry plants and ferns grew close about the nesting site. In a shady spot among the pine trees we found a warbling vireo's nest in plain view 4 1/2 above the ground in the forking of two almost leaf- cless branches of a Rhamnus bush. The parent was brooding four white eggs very sparingly flecked with tiny reddish brown specks. The color of the brooding bird blended well with the gray bark of the brush and the gray nest material, but her bright- black eye was very conspic- ous. She did not fly until we were within four feet of her. The nest cup was about three inches in diameter and measured 6 1/2 inches around the bottom [3"/6in. ] from rim to rim.

Grinnell - 1915 Yosemite, Calif The nest at the stump base was visited and contents found to be still intact. The parent was seen and proved to be a spurred towhee. At the first towhee nest found both parents remained in plain view among the bushes and scolded vigorously. At this nest, however, only one parent has been seen glimpsed and it has slipped silently away. A robin's nest was noted this afternoon by the path across the meadow, very near to Sentinel Bridge. It was about ten feet up in a small sapling and the head of a young bird could be seen over the nest edge. There is a blackbird's nest in a blackberry bush in this same meadow. The bush stands in a deep pool of water, so a near approach to the nest is impossible. Today, regardless of the scolding,

June 18. Our chipping sparrow nest today contains four very young, evidently just hatched. The skin of the young is dark purplish red and the natal [illegible] is dark gray, which makes them quite inconspicuous in their cedar-shaded nest. This noon as we sat at lunch under a black oak by the school house I heard a commotion among the black birds in the meadow. Going over to the fence, I saw four black birds flying around the head of a gray squirrel which was dodging about in the grass at the base of a clump of black berry bushes! The birds were scolding angrily and pecking violently at the air a few inches above the

Squirrel's head. The specking and and dodging continued for perhaps two minutes and then the squirrel fled across the grass and up onto a fence post where he sat for a moments nibbling something ob- ject which he held between his forepaws. The four mate birds continued to dash about his head and back, which was protected by the bushy tail arched over it. The breeze was blowing so strong that I could not be sure whether he was waving his tail or the wind was blowing it; at any rate the flying hairs served as a protection against the onslaughts of the birds who hovered above him. Soon the squirrel leaped down from the fence, across the ditch and up one of the tall trees. An examination of the clump of blackberry bushes revealed a black birds nest in the midst of a tangle of blossoming branches and well-concealed among the leaves. The nest was 7 inches high, its base being 26 inches above

The inside depth was 3 inches, as was the inside diameter. The nest held four eggs which varied considerably in color, one having a white background finely and evenly flecked with indefinite blotches of tan color, another was also had the white background but the blotches were much larger and darker and were confluent at the larger end. The other two eggs were alike in markings and were also heavily and evenly flecked with small indefinitely-edged flecks of tan and brown that the ground color was entirely obscured. Since nest and contents apparently undisturbed I cannot accuse the gray squirrel of any worse crime than that of causing agitation on the hearts of the parent birds!

June 19 This morning we discovered a go. black-headed grosbeak's nest in the branches of a slender Rhamnus bush by the roadside. The brush had been cleared a few days ago and the land-clearers had left standing the single bush which held the nest, so it was exposed to the views of passers-by. Our attention was attracted to the nest by the loud singing of the male, who was brooding the four small young. The young still had their eyes closed and their flesh was yellowish-pink. The natal down was heavy, about 1/4 inch in length and white. When we passed by again at sunset the mother was brooding. The nest was about three

June 20 Went by the grosbeak's nests twice today. This morning at 8:30 the father was feeding each of the young in turn. Having emptied his bill he settled down to brood the young, who would otherwise have been exposed to the hot rays of the morning sun. When we passed at 5:30 in the evening the mother was brooding. June 21 Visited all the nests today and found nothing changed, save that the little finchlets were dead in the nest, and a few contour feathers of an adult junco were scattered about the nest opening. Apparently the adult had been seized and carried off by some

A young robin seen today flew readily and seemed almost full grown, yet was still being fed by the parent. The first young juncos to be seen out of the nest was dis- covered today in the grass under some young cedars. My at- tention was attracted to it by hearing its calls for food. As I approached it fluttered away thru the grass, both parents calling excitedly from the cedars, one on each side of me. June 22 The little chipping spar- rows are growing very fast. Two of the warblits vireos eggs hatched today.

The young chipping sparrows are out of the nest, and we found one of them dead on the ground beneath. They cannot fly yet, and I think were forced to leave the nest when still too young as it had listed badly under their weight. Saw three young juncos with their parents. They flew readily up into the trees when disturbed. Watched a junco nest- building on the beam under the roof of the porch at cottage No. 6 this morning. This beam was about twelve feet above the ground and the space between

Just beyond the towhee's nest, three feet up in the crotch of a thimbleberry bush, and very well shaded I found a newly completed nest, still empty. Down near the stream edge and about seven feet up in a willow thicket we found the nest of a Russet backed Thrush with four nearly full-grown young. The ground about the base of the thicket is now dry, but two weeks ago, when I passed that way the water stood a foot deep around it. About seven feet up in

Nest material is dry willow bark, grass leaves and stems, a few pine needles, leaf skeletons, and weed stems. The shreds of dry willow bark predominate. There is no moss or horsehair about the nest. The lining is of fine stems and roots loosely put in. Just within this inner lining is a layer dried sandy mud, as firm as the cement was mixed with it.

Climbed the young black oak to look at the Warbling Vireos there and the young took flight from the nest as my weight jarred the tree. They were fully feathered.

Several deer have been reported on the valley floor within the past two weeks: a doe with two fawns, seen at Camp 15 about 6:30 a.m.; two bucks, a doe, and two fawns along the creek near the junction of Yosemite Creek with the Merced; and a buck seen several times between the foot of the Eagle Peak trail and the foot- bridge to Camp Ahwahnee.

From their actions we decided that they have learned to depend on picnickers for at least a portion of their rations. September 5 The berries of the chokecherry (Prunus demissa) and of the coffeeberry (Rhamnus are in their prime just now. Within the past few days I have frequently observed flocks of seven or eight Western Tanagers feeding upon the ripe coffeeberries. Ground squirrels, too, are very fond of them.

He carried his load to the top of a black oak and disappeared with it into a hole. Twice within the last few days I have seen other Gray Squirrels carrying home loads of grass stems.

They were of a large bear and a cub. We traced them up the trail two turns beyond the spring, and there the bears apparently turned into the rocks. We think the cub was in the lead as it's foot - prints were occasionally reversed as tho it had stopped and turned about to wait for the parent, whose tracks were all headed up trail.

I saw about fifty, in flocks of from three to five, feeding among the golden oaks back of Camp Ahwahnee this afternoon. Oct. 15 Saw the first Bluebirds for the season today. A flock of about twenty-five were on Sentinel Meadow just back of the hotel.

HW Grinnell - 1915 Yosemite, Calif 38 Oct. 22 Observed today the first meadowlark I have seen during six months residence in the valley. A single individual was flying about the meadow land of Corinthel Hotel. The bird was apparently catching grasshoppers, which are very abundant in the short meadow grass. Nov. 7 Band-tailed Pigeons have been notably scarce since about Oct. 15, but today I noticed three flying overhead, the first I have seen for a week. Nov. 14 Left cottage 60 at 10:am. and walked down along the road on this side of the river to El Cajiton bridge; then up the Big Oak Flat road about 2 miles to B.M. 4943 ft. elevation, reaching there at 2:p.m. The sky was overcast with cirrus clouds through which the sun occasionally broke.

Those unrecorded are a flock of at least five Band- tailed Pigeons, which were startled from a golden oak beside the road at about 4900 ft elevation; a company of twelve Blue Birds seen flying over Bridal Veil Meadow; a word [illegible] head scolding on the Oak Flat grade and a second flock of about a dozen Bushtits seen in a golden oak along the grade (the flock listed in the census were seen foraging in a black oak at the foot of the grade). The ground squirrels were all seen about the rock slides along the Big Oak Flat road near the zig-zag.

H.W. Grinnell -1925 Mineral, 7800 ft July 11 41. July 11 This afternoon we left camp at 6:30 p.m. and walked down past the chickadee stub. The young were very well-feathered but still in the nest. Across the meadow the tolmie warbler (see J.G.P.) was flushed from her nest which contained four eggs, as on July 8th. We found a robin's nest in an alder by a little stream thru the meadow. The alder stood alone and was rather sparsely foliaged so the nest, about 11 feet up, was very conspicuous. Stuart climbed to it and found it to contain two eggs. No parent was seen. On the edge of a meadow (very near the "powder house" in the hillside) we alarmed a pair of lazuli buntings. Both were so concerned that we searched the clumps of young willows near by and soon found the nest, about twenty inches above the ground in a thicka young willow clump. It held four full-fledged young. One left the nest before we could retreat! Just at dusk we saw two jack rabbits cross the main highway.

H.W. Grinnell - 1925 Mineral, 4800 ft July 13 July 13 Yesterday we left camp at 9:00 a.m. and went up the Broke-off trail to where Martin Creek issues from the rocks. On the way we visited the Sierra Hermit Thrush's nest found by J.G. on July seventh. It was empty and apparently deserted. At about the point where J.G. flushed a Sierra Grouse on the seventh we startled a brood of very young grouse less than a week old, I should say. We counted five before they disappeared into the brush on the left-hand side of the trail. We did not see the female, or hear her call until all the young had disappeared from view. Then we heard her clucking and calling and leading them further from the trail. Shortly afterward on that same muggy and slope Molly picked up several porcupine quills lying in the middle of the trail. In the afternoon as we came down the trail we startled a female Sierra Grouse from the trail

H.W. Grinnell 1925 Mineral, 4800 ft. July 13 side. As she whirled away four young took flight in slightly different directions. Molly says it was the exact spot where she and J.G. startled the female with the very young brood of seven of June seventeenth. July 15 Yesterday Mr Laws, deputy Game warden with headquarters at Red Bluff, called to see J.G. He had just been up at the Ranger's office looking over the maps and planning trout plantings. He says that there are sixty miles of stream in the vicinity of Mineral which should be planted. According to him the Red Bluff Chamber of Commerce has maneuvered to have previous plantings put into the streams much nearer Red Bluff, so fishing at Mineral is poor. We asked him about the planting of the small lake below Int Turner, mentioned to us on July 3, by Mr Stark, ranger stationed in the fire-lookout at Int Turner. Mr Laws replied that the little lake was stocked several

H.W. Grinnell -1925 Mineral, 4800 ft. July 15 years ago with rainbow trout, which according to his experience do not thrive in land-locked water. He hopes to plant five small lakes near Int Turner with brook-trout this fall, but says it will be about seven years before there is good fishing in the planted lakes. Mr Turner says that the best fishing near Mineral is at Manzanita Lake. At five o'clock we left camp, with a picnic supper and went down over the same route taken by us at six-thirty on July 11. The young chickadees in the stub by the meadow edge were apparently all dead, but both parents were near at hand and resented our visit. One parent entered the hole with food as we watched from a distance of a hundred feet. At the tolmie's nest no bird was about and the nest itself was tipped to one side. Half an egg shell was in plain view and one whole egg was hidden beneath debris,

H.W. Grinnell-1925 Mineral, 4800 ft. July 15 45. otherwise the nest was empty. Stuart climbed to the robin's nest in the alder. There were only two eggs still, and no parent was about. Next we visited the site of the laguli bunting's nest and found it empty, but the four young, and both parents were seen in a nearby thicket. The nest rim proved, by actual measurement, to be just twenty-five inches above the ground! As I stooped to measure the laguli's nest the chicken flushed a mountain quail from a nearby willow clump. It flew about thirty feet up the hillside and perched on the ditch bank, where it remained, motionless except for noddings of the head, as long as we were in the vicinity. However, it kept up a continuous series of notes, some directed to us, evidently, and some to the brood of chicks which we heard scrambling to safety. Knolly saw two of them and reports that "they were quite small with

H.W. Grinnell 1925 Mineral, 4800 ft July 15 lasts. The chipmunks shell out each seed, usually standing on their hind legs, before eating it, and apparently carrying away nothing; while the ground squirrel shells out nothing but stuffs seeds into her cheek pouches until they bulge most amazingly and then whisks off into the brush. On June (see note-book J. G. page 246) we discovered a chickadee's nest on the under side of a leaning stub near camp. The parents have always remained in this vicinity and we have seen the full grown young about. This morning I noted a chickadee still carrying food, so I examined the old stub. All was quiet when I tapped it, but a moment later an adult chickadee flew out carrying an excrementsac. I sat down under a nearly bush to watch the nest hole and a moment later heard the soft notes of a mountain quail courting young. I "froze" and in about one minute

H.V. Grinnell-1925 mineral, 4800 ft. July 15 four foraging young, about as big as hen's eggs, came from behind scratching and pecking. When the nearest was within eighteen inches of my knee the unseen parent, some- where behind me, clucked a different note and the chicks retreated cautiously, to be led quietly away by the parent. I am sure that there were more young in the brood than I saw. Just before 9:00 a.m. Richard and I sat down under a bush a dozen feet from the chickadees nest to record feedings which were as follows: 8:59 in with food; out at once. 9:03 " " " " " 9:07 " " " " " 9:08 " " " " " 9:10 " " ; stayed 30 seconds 9:11 " " " 7 minutes 9:18 " " both parents out, one with excrement 9:21 " " ; out at once. 9:22 " " " " 9:25\frac{1}{2} in " ; out with excrement 9:29\frac{1}{2} " ";

H.W. Grinnell-1925 Mineral, 4800 ft. July 15 Sometimes one parent would pause an instant on a small tree near the nest entrance but at the entrance itself they did not hesitate at all, popping in and out so fast it was usually impossible to identify the food they carried. July 16 Yesterday afternoon when passing the Wright Flycatcher nest just above camp (see notebook J.P. page 2491?) I was surprised to see a Wright Flycatcher sitting. When flushed from the nest she flew to a nearby twig and returned to her brooding as soon as I withdrew. There were three eggs in the nest. At about six-thirty last evening we went down to the Chickadee's nest at the meadow edge for one more look. We cut into it a little way and found that two of the young, at least, were alive. We tied the strip of wood we had just removed back in place and before departing waited until we had seen the parents feed several times. On down the meadow we

H.W. Grinnell -1925 Mineral, 4800 ft. July 16 flushed the robin from her nest, which still contained but two eggs. July 19 Last evening we visited the chick-a-dee stub at the meadow edge and found it empty. I am not sure whether the young we once thought dead (see page 44) were feigning death or were really prostrated by the heat, for the air was very warm and sultry. The robin in the alder slipped from her nest before we reached it, but watched anxiously from a nearby pine while Molly climbed to the nest. The two eggs were as yet unhatched. This morning I left camp at 9:00 a.m. to look for nests. Half a mile from camp down toward the old road I was scolded by a chipping sparrow. As she waited for me to go on she sat on the nearby telephone wire and screamed as tho' just off her nest. A search of the near vicinity revealed it, about five feet up in a seven-foot yellow pine. The nest was close the main trunk and well

H.W. Grimmell - 1925 Mineral, 4800 ft July 19 hidden by a luxuriant growth of needles. It contained two newly-hatched young and two eggs. A few hundred feet beyond the chipping-sparrow's nest I flushed a green-tailed towhee from her nest. I heard the flit of wings as she dived off the nest and down into the brush. When at least six feet away from the nest she began to scold. The nest contained three eggs and was about three feet above the ground near the southern edge of a fine clump of ceanothus. Birds are much quieter than a week ago. Fox-sparrows sing occasionally but I have found no recent nestings. Yesterday I searched the thickets very carefully near the perch of a singing bird, and found a nest from which the young had long flown. A Scinia hermit thrush sings daily down near where J.G. found a nest on June 13 (see J.G. notebook pages 2498 and 2504) and where three out of a brood of four were raised.

H.W. Grinnell-1925 mineral, 4800 ft July 19 Chickadees sing every day and, at any time and in any direction, wherever one may be. A walk thru the brush anywhere draws down upon one much adverse criticism, for altho birds are not singing much they are by no means voiceless and are still caring for young not long out of the nest. Yesterday when scolded by an adult tobyie warbler I "squaked" out of the nearby thicket two young not long out of the nest. This mon- ing the solicitude of a Wright (?) fly catcher attracted my attention to a youngster in a ceonothus brush hardly able to fly. We hear the grouse "bount" as often as we did in June. 5:30 P.M. We have just been down to the chipping-sparrow nest found this morning. There are now three young and one egg.

Margunnell-1925 Mineral, 4800 ft July 21 53. July 21 The fourth egg in the chipping sparrows nest has hatched. Both of the adult chickadees aid in keeping the nest clean; yesterday one followed the other very closely in coming out of the nest cavity and each carried an excrement sac. July 26. Yesterday morning found that all the young chipping sparrows had disappeared; possibly a blue jay was responsible as there have been one or two about lately. We found three young in the green-tailed towhee's nest. The two robins eggs have not hatched yet, neither have the Wright flycatcher eggs in the nest above camp. July 28 Yesterday we were away from camp all day and while we were gone two of the three eggs in the Wright flycatcher nest disappeared.

I spent half an hour after lunch at the chickadees' nest. The young were very restless, calling a great deal, fluttering their wings and with the heads of one or two appearing constantly at the nest hole. It was very easy to distinguish them from the adults by the yellow showing plainly at the base of the bill. The adults were both feeding at short intervals, altho it was noon time and most birds were quiet and inactive. July 29 The young chickadees have left the nest stub.
