Solitary Vireos also range high, and the Empidonaces are common in the aspens and high in the pines. I saw an Olive-sided Fly- catcher in the top of an aspen, but did not hear it or any others. Audubon and Black-throated Gray Warblers are singing, as well as a number of Pileolateds, which I have not noted before. A pair of Warbling Vireos in a group of aspens seemed disturbed by me.

I see lots of Brewer Blackbirds in the meadow. In the aspens by nest #3 I noticed the usual Juncos and House Wrens singing, Violet-green Swallows flying by, Chest- nut-backed Bluebirds, Empidonaces, and a Western Wood Pewee (first one). In the pines I came upon an injured ♀ Crossbill, undoubtedly one that I shot
