Auger 1939 July 11 Twin Buttes, Sherman Co., Wash. Returning to camp I noted 2 [illegible], hummingbirds which I think were Rufus Hummingbirds but I am not certain. July 12 In the afternoon Mr. Johnson and myself went to Cayuse meadows located 3 mi N E of Camp. I assisted him in setting out 7 sets of gopher traps on the slope bordering the east end of the meadow. The soil here was rather sandy. Grass grew abundantly on the slope which seemed to have been burnt over more recently than the area described above since burnt stems were found. A junco nest containing 3 eggs was found on a small meadow on the slope. The nest was, on the ground; it was sheltered on 3 sides by a small shrub. The nest was about 2 inches in diameter
