June 22 Sagehen Creek, 3 mi. NW Hobart Mills, Nevada Co, Calif.
15 min. Good light for photos this time
of day. A very good look at Olive-sided
flycatcher - note chid-it or chee-dit
almost slurred into one syllable. Also
a creeper. Reached roadside colony
proper at 3. About 90% of the aspen
on the SW side has been cut. The
house seen here last year is in fair-
ly good shape as is the dam im-
mediately below it but lacks any
new material on top. Warbling
vireo & hairy woodp. in vicinity of
pond. 40 yds downstream from this
house is a second, newer house
covered w mud, some of it wet, as
well as with new willow twigs
some w leaves. This has been built
since my last visit here, but the
dam immediately below it was
here then. It's seriously in active
use and on the SW shore directly
opposite is one of the few really
fresh cuttings - (on this shore) -
a 8" aspen with fresh leaves
still on it, cut possibly within
3 or 4 days or even less. Already
partly trimmed above 4" level
