while they were feeding, so much as that we were practically unaware of their presence until we were right upon them.
This p.m. I came across an adult and some young Ruffed Grouse by the creek. I was only able to see 4 of the young, but am certain that there are more. They is probably the same family I saw yesterday. The ? would not react as well to the 'chick-call' that usually excites them earlier in the season. The young were once again the size of California Juncal. [illegible] Warblers and Yellow Warblers seen and very seldom heard along the stream. None have been noted singing. No Audubon Warblers or Cassin Purple Finches have been heard here. Crossbills are occasionally heard flying over in small flocks. Several Golden-Crowned Kinglets were heard in the firs about camp this a.m. Red-breasted Nuthatches heard more often than any other bird in the forested area. An American Three-toed Woodpecker was taken by Miller the day before yesterday.
Moved this evening back to our camp at Cocolalla on account of rain.

Started home early this a.m. As we left a Snowshoe Hare was seen to run along the side of the road for about 25 yards. It kept just ahead of the machine which was travelling about 23 mi.p.hr. Travelled via Spokane and Pendelton almost to Umatilla, Oregon.
* Picked up a Charina botte this a.m. at Cocolalla. It had been dead for a day or so on roads.
