J.G. Hall 1953 95 June 21 Sagelen Creek, 3 mi. NW Hobart Mills, Nevada Co., Calif. Main Camp. Pewees woke me up at 4:30. Spent most of day doing paper work. An al- solutely cloudless day from beginning to end - fitting for longest day in year. Saw an Empidonax (Hammond's?) fly- catcher along stream in early after- noon. Spent some time observing in the under-water tanks. Only partly successful in cleaning algae off windows. Got good looks at some brookies, small about 4-6" long, feeding a foot or 2 from the NW window. Move v. little, only enough to maintain stationary position an inch or two above rough rubble bottom, picked up food particles carried to them by the current or occasionally darted aside to snatch something that floated a few inches to one side of position. Water pretty milky still & high - up over June 22 tops of windows. Roadside colony where Pte 89 crosses Sagelen 2:45 PM Red-breasted sapsucker's nest cavity in big lodgepole 100 yds SW of bridge, about 10' up. Parent entered, left & re-entered in space of about
