Howell, T.R. 1949 Journal Crowder Flat 5200 ft., 38 mi. NNW of Alturas, Modoc Co., Calif. June 20, (cont'd.) long. They are as unwary as the does. This afternoon there has been a porcupine in a small juniper outside the ranger station, feeding at a very slow pace. The Carpodacus finches mentioned in the Journal are all Cassin Finches, I believe. The ♀s and young ♂s have finer and more sharply edged streaks than Purples, and I finally collected a singing ♂ cassini to make sure. I saw a young, streaked-plumaged ♂ in the top of the half-dead pine in which nest #10 is located singing and fluttering his wings as though begging. I presume it was an imm. ♂ and not a ♀ as it was singing. There are many broods of young Robins out all through the woods June 21- At nest #3 at about 3:45 A.M. Robins were singing at 3:30, but I could not determine any sequence after that. Conspicuous, though, from 3:45 on were the songs of House Wrens, sometimes given on the wing, calls of Pewees, and the mewing of the Green-tailed Towhees. The sky was mostly overcast before dawn, clearing considerably by around 7:00 A.M. At about 6:00 I heard and saw several Brown Creepers singing, and collected one. No Poor-Wills heard, Near nest #6 I scared up a young spotted fawn which bounded off; this is the 2nd spotted one I have seen. The weather cleared rapidly and from 9:00 A.M. on there were no clouds in the sky. There was some wind in the afternoon and evening.
