Arrived camp 1620, 6000'. | Bill & George had searched for Cortina Blackbirds, tent actively reported by Dane, w/o success, + also failed to see Blue-throated Humming dir'd seen by George on yesterday, near pools in C. Los Veros. But on their return they had seen a black bear, brownish color, about 50 yrs. old - ant, in mid-afternoon, near cairn-composite at foot of Arjuna. We all went to look at the tracker, which were fresh & clean in the dust. A small bear, its forefoot < 4" wide, + hind about 7" long. Nueve-foot showed clear crease from side to side across center of track. Bear had come out of rocky streambed, walked up dusty trail, + fled upslope into brush. Definitely no tumps, a grizzly-shaped head. | We went to headquarter for water, then drove toward the road to Providence Ranch homeroad. Near mouth of canyon we saw fly from ground a fair-sized long - tailed mostly white bird, hill shot, right half of tail black. We stalked it + flurried it 3 x, but failed to collect it. Fairly obviously a partial albino brown turkey, apparently normal in behavior, but not paired.
