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.
