Leucosticta tephrocotis
7 August Okpilak River
Just below the saddle at the
heads of the lateral branches of Contact
Creek in an area of gravity outcrops
and taluses interwoven with wet
gross-rudge drains, I encountered
Two juvenile ptory hushes, one
which could fly well, I shot, the
other which could only flutter
a dozen or so yards at a time, I
lost contact with when my attention
was diverted by seeing an adult.
I followed after the latter, and saw it
land in one of the wet grazy drains
where it was feeding on foraged
bearing stalks. I shot it. No
others were seen. The altitude
was about 4800 feet.
