R.J. Raitt 1956 Eremophila alpestris Aug. 14 Hurricane Ridge, 5800 ft., Clallam Co., Washington At about 2 PM (PST) I was driving out on the Hurricane Ridge Road in Olympic National Park about 1-2 miles from the end of the road when an adult ran across the road. In this area the road follows the narrow ridge top which is about 50-100 yards wide and slopes away very steeply on either side (east north's south). The vegetation is mainly grass and herbs about 3-6 inches high with taller clumps scattered about and a taller, thicker strip on either side of the road. The surface is fairly flat but contains many small depressions and eminences (less than a foot high or deep). Small clumps of stunted evergreens (Alpine Fir) are scattered at intervals of about 100 yards. This entire rather dry, low-grass covered ridge top extends for out 1/3-1/2 mile. There appear to be other areas of similar aspect along the ridge top separated by timbered or more lush grassy areas. The adult bird observed ran across the road and remained motionless partly hidden in the grass. I walked toward it and it walked away but finally took wing when I approached too close. It flew several yards high in a broad, rough circle uttering several high-pitched cries and returned to the same area and took a similar motionless, head- erect pose on the ground. This same proced- ure was repeated several times in about 1/2 hour until I finally the bird flew off and
