July 13
In the afternoon, but up one formation
one [illegible]s, one [illegible]s and
m. picts. in the morning.
To make a picture of the canyon walls,
and then to see if we could find anything
else. The canyon looks captured nothing
to the left side of the trail. On the
right side I shot a
way down from the top of the wall
and came back up again. All in all
it was a good day's work.
We went to camp at 4 o'clock and had
lunch there. Then we drove out to the
canyon and found a large nest about 12 feet above
the ground in an aspen scotch. Climbed up
to see but found nest abandoned and
covered up. At 11:30 I shot a quailmark
in a meadow grass (Emberiza grisea-viridis).
Started to row at 12.
Had lunch at 12:30 and continued in aspen grove, I
climbed scale to right and came over the
ridge. Looked down on a canyon floor
of green mountains; saw a lake above them
down in valley. At 12:40 headed toward
water carrying down mountain side. I saw
three sage hen resting in a patch
and shot one of them.
[illegible]
Pedioecetes phasianellus Columbianus.
