August 19 (Wed) that was on a small boulder near the stream line.
It has a row of spines down its back, has a patch
of yellowish brown on its forehead, & black spots &
marks underneath. The chin has a large black spot.
The area here is somewhat dry, with trees &
brush. There are lot's of tree leaves & branches
covering the ground. There is a small creek that
has little fish and tadpoles in it. Various doves,
wrens, woodpeckers, & flycatchers are seen & heard.
We've decided to camp here & set up 3 mist nets.
There is evidence that this stream was once a
good-sized river. There is considerable creek bed
exposed. Furnaces is here, and I can see
one down in the leaf litter of the stream bed
flipping the dried leaves. Its golden tan
color blends in well with the dried leaves. It witches its tail considerably as it flips the
leaves.
5:00 p.m. Caught 2 little warble-like birds in
my net. They are the same species (perhaps a
pair) They are dark grey on their back, getting
darker on the head, where there is a white
eye stripe, and yellow on the rump. There's
some white on the [illegible] wings. The chin is
light grey & the breast yellow. (MAL 306 328+307)
Dr. Copad and Roy have their mist nets
placed over the creek, and I have mine
