When I pressed them closely (about 10 yards away) they ran faster and got away, but flew only when we first flushed them out of the clearing. We also saw one Gray Jay which came calling when I gave it a firm wave. I approached close enough to enable it to be identified as a juvenile so it was not collected. We also saw a flock of about 6 Chestnut-backed Chickadees foraging through Douglas firs near the road. They were uttering a great many notes and were lower to the ground than they had been previously in the area, probably because the trees were younger and had foliage as low as 20 ft above the ground. They were moving as a group and passed out of carshot in about 7-10 min.) We also saw a Red-shafted Flicker feeding quietly at the base of a stump (stump) about 1 foot above the ground. It seemed to be very shy and flew away quickly when we were several yards away. Also, a Creeper was seen foraging up the trunk of a Douglas fir. At about 10 AM we went back to the car and drove back to the campground from where we hiked about 1/2 mile up the Gray Wolf trail and back.
