14e - 1933 61 Thompson Canyon Walker Basin - Oct. 19, 1933. - I saw two red breasted sapsuckers "making love" this morning. They were going up the trunk of a small digger pine, crying "plaintively" and pecking gently at each other. They kept it up for quite a while. Incidentally, I saw about 8 of these birds this morning. We had a visit from a Mr. Stubble- field this afternoon. He lives in Haite canyon near Havilah. He was looking for Mr. M.J. Williams. He tells us that there are condors here, and that there is a bald eagle here. He says also that there is a very large "grizzly" bear here. He says it isn't the true gizzly, but a bear known around here as "silversip grizzly." He says its tracks have been seen several times, and that it has an eleven inch track. He says, of course, that there are numerous brown bears here-abouts.
