T. Code 1957 Falconusticules 24 August Jugo Lake A wild female—probably a five- mile as no molted flight feathers were evident—encountered my trained jester on "Lookout" Knoll ½ mile away from camp, and she apparently had him pinned down on the ground. I could not see too well, but he was screaming and they were both running around on the ground, and there was much flapping of wings. She was reluctant to leave when I returned, and she roared around near by giving an excellent view. Very dark bird dorsally and ventrally—almost black— no light flecks or edgings in feathers at all. 25 August Pitneega River (entry from Childs) About 2 mi above the camp there was a pair on a bluff. There was 1 young. It and an adult were collected by Childs.
