Cade 1958 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.
