May 27 Trail Canyon, 8900ft, White Mts, Esmeralda Co, Nevada
One view of what probably was a piledated warbler. Shot of g.t. towhee.
Crossed over to the dry ravine where, besides sage there is some mt. ma-
hogany and pinyon pine higher up. Saw several Empidonax that had
the 'chu-reep' call note. Sage spar-
rows also singing over here. Song
starts like a step-wise pine siskin
changing over into a song similar
to a slow juncos trill. Scared a cotton-
tail & several chipmunks. The Clark's
nutcrackers very abundant & voc-
iferous, A pewee and a v.g. swallow
plus a spotted towhee. A Downy wood-
pecker and a piledated warbler. One
nutcracker came to a little seep about
30 yds away while I sat, and took a
drink, flew away & came back for
another. A couple of 4" Sceloporus dark-
ed under rocks & sage. Two old shed
antlers & a cow skull. Scared a moun-
tain dove from a big willow at camp.
On faunt down creek, shot pewee and
had a good look at a pair of sparrow
hawks near the rock outcrop just
across creek from camp. Thought
