the most part, there [sic] are silent now. Tanagers,
Hermit Thrushes and Warbling Vireos are still
in song; but nearly all warblers, flycatchers
and finches are quiet. Indeed, I heard the
song of but one Hermit Warbler, where I heard
dozens on June 22. Heard but 2 or 3 Audubon
Warblers this morning. Heard a Grouse "boonting"
in a big fir, so persistently that I circled the
tree without disturbing him. I couldn't see him. Flushed
a hen from the dusty trail, but failed to find any young.

6284 Hammond Flycatcher [female symbol] ad. 9.7g. Shot from fir twig
about 30 ft. from ground in woods on ridge at 5500 ft.
Note that molt has begun in innermost primaries, and that lower
mandible is not especially dusky; indeed, it is quite
pale flesh-color.

6285 Warbling Vireo [female symbol] 13.7 g. Contained fully formed yolk, a little
"white" but not shell: would have laid 4th egg tomorrow. With
nest and set 1/3 (incomplete, as above. ^^{Shot in willow.} See p. 2519.

6286 Western Tanager [male symbol] ad. testes [testes illustration]. 28.6 g. Shot on
ground beneath young firs, whither it had just; 5000 ft.

6287 Mariposa Fox Sparrow [female symbol] ad. 30.7g. Shot in
thicket of arctostaphylos patula, in large tract of chaparral
at about 5600 ft.

The young in the Wright Flycatcher's nest at
camp, which hatched on June 17 (see p. 2491), left
the nest voluntarily this forenoon sometime. Time
in nest, 18 days ±.

6288 Bufo boreas found under board in our tent.
