Water Ousel - May 22, 1942 - W. Fork Sheep's Creek, Kings R. Canyon, Fresno Co., Calif. One bird seen flying about region of swift flowing water falls. Landed on lichen-covered rocks seen with green protruding from mouth. General color is sooty gray tail short, body heavy, wings long & seems quite powerful. Wades in water edge & along rocks head bobbing down vigorously all the time. Flies short distances & then lands in rocks farther down. Actually went into water edge which was flowing rapidly & foam-covered; did not stay long & flew out. Here again received impression that wings long & fairly broad. While the one we were watching was downstream, we saw another one fly up toward the 1st fall above the bridge dam & beyond some rocks projecting from edge on the left (facing falls). The other bird (one we had been watching) then arose in flight, circled & followed. Shortly after the other one flew down stream & out of sight; the other followed, but stopped & began working its way downstream. Then, disappeared. One appeared about 5 mi. later with something green in its mouth & flew back behind fall - same place as before. Then flew out & down stream out of sight.
