9:50 am -- Tolmie Warbler's nest, which Dixon
has been photographing, and which Mrs. G & I 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.
Rim 190 mm. above ground surface, nest snugly resting
among five dead twigs of the snow birch, with a
slanting live stem of some 80 (unknown3) 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).
6259 Sierra Grouse (male) nat. 13.8g. Iris hazel; toes and unfeathered portions of tarsi, dull yellow; iris hazel. Taken yesterday (see p. 2475).
6260 Wright Flycatcher (female) 12.2g. With set 1/4 (see p. 2476). Breast glandular.
6261 Gerrhonotus found on the 16th squirming along (unknown6) 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; rim 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
