Calavicus (pictus?)
5 August Jago Lake
One flock of 8-9 was seen on a
high blvch 1/2 mi' above camp,
and 2-3 singles were seen on
the lower blvch land.
13 August Jago Lake
Half a dozen, very shy, seen on
the first blvch above and westward of
the lake. They do not look like
lappsonicus - although they are in fall
plumage, which is confusing to me -
and I think they are pictus. Unfortunately
just at the time when I could
have gotten a specimen, my gun went
out of which. I will try to net some
of these if they stay in the area.
5 August Jago Lake
Quite a few seen at the base of
Marie Mountain.
6 August Jago Lake
Flocks of longsprays all about
today - all in winter plumage. There
seems to be two kinds - one buffier
on breast than the other. Also one
much shier than the other. Both
lappsonicus & pictus represented? They
seem to be feeding almost entirely on the
berries of Arctostaphylos.
