9:50 am -- Tolmie Warbler's nest, which Dixon has been photographing, and which Mrs. G & J (unknown1) found 3 days ago, then with four nearly fresh eggs in it. [But now incubated about 1/4.]. Nest in scraggly, open growth of ceanothus cordulatus, in dry ground, a small yellow pine within 10 feet, but site sunny during the hottest part of the day. Rain 190 mm. (unkown2) above ground surface, nest snugly nesting among five dead twigs of the (unknown3) (unknown4), with a slanting live stem of some 80 (unknown5) overhead. No single twig directly supporting nest, but compact structure of latter enables it to rest securely among the fine twiggery aforementioned. Female rather shy; sneaks off along ground and keeps quiet and out of sight. Male not noted in vicinity. Nest & eggs taken (1/4). (unknown6)
6259 Sierra Grouse (male) nat. 13.8g. Taken yesterday (see p. 2475).
6260 Wright Flycatcher (female) 12.2g. With (unknown7) 1/4 (see p. 2476). Breast glandular.
6261 Gerrhonotus found on the 16th squirming along (unknown8) stems under ceanothus near mom; Dixon has had it for photographing.
5:10 p.m. -- Fox Sparrow's nest with 3 fresh eggs -- complete set because same number on 16th when I first found it. Nest not on ground but up in ceanothus cordulatus bush, in large tract of same; (unknown9) 490 mm. above ground; two slanting green ceanothus stems partly shaded it from above, and a small dead pine stem stood up thru the tangle 10 inches away. Even though the outer portion of the nest is of very loose construction it was well supported by the close tangle of ceanothus twiggery
