Heard "pe-ark" notes of Nighthawk last evening.
A Green-backed Goldfinch flew over camp. Heard a
Cooper Hawk calling near camp. Blue-fronted Jays
are much more in evidence now than a month
ago - noisier. A circuit this evening, till dusk,
down along the willows and tracts of lodgepole pines
left an impression of extreme quietness; nothing was
singing. Juncos in two places showed worry,
as if young were near by. The squeal notes of young
robins were heard. A lone Wright Flycatcher gave a
two-syllabled "see-pit" a few times.

Mrs. G and I went up the Viola (Martin Cr. ridge)
Trail to about the 5800. foot contour, taking the accompanying
4-hour census, 8:30 - 12:30; Mrs. G. pencil-checked on
card-board; results, 31 species, 134 individuals, in
4 hours - not so bad, considering the songlessness [sic] of
nearly all species. The only songs heard were:
Fox Sparrow (once); Warbling Vireo (2, singing rather
persistently); Mountain Chickadee (both "jumbling" burble and
tee-tee, too-too); Cassin Purple Finch (merely fragmentary).
Only food calls, or location notes, or clean calls of
all other species heard. A brood of 3 bob-tailed
frowsy-headed young Tolmie Warblers in ceanothus
cordulatus patch, with [female symbol] parent. Saw where a
Chickaree was working in a yellow pine - ground
beneath strewn with fresh green cone scales
and cores; heard at least 4 chickarees.
