Marsh Hawk 5 Sparrow Hawk 2 Sage Grouse "" 5♂- 4♀ - (Map to left in Field Notebook) - All males congregating on an open area (no sage) about 3/4 mile from Hiway 395 - visible from Hiway despite the distance. Approached to within 100 yards before they flushed. The display was really incredible. The cooing sound, produced by the grotesque posturing, thrusting forward and deflating enormous throat sac could be heard for hundreds of yards. Sage Grouse were surprisingly efficient in the air - they made flights of over one mile yards away from the left and the wingbeats were measured and powerful, not the buzzy pheasant-type of flight. Perhaps Sage Grouse need to cover much larger pieces of ground than other Galliformes.

At 2100 I began doing my imitations and within 15 minutes we had two birds right above us. One was hooting and the other gave a curious rising whistle, like Peterson record. When the birds first arrived, the hooter (??) gave a 4-noted hoot: hooooo (1sec) hoo - hoo (1sec) hooo000000 This was given several times, and I gave the same calls back to him. After 4-5 repetitions, he began a more rapid rising crescendo of hoots, speeding up at end. Never finished a series of hoots without breaking the sequence abruptly with some low notes. We had both birds calling at us and answering us for 15 minutes. Never came closer than 75-100 feet although they were obviously excited.

Princeton Harbor - with Common Loon for comparison - the bird's bill was so much bigger (and the bird itself was so much larger) that I originally thought the Yellow-billed was a Common and the Common an Arctic (from 500yds). Both were in non-breeding plumage, but the Yellow-billed Loon was longer bodied, long-necked, and conspicuously longer-billed than the Common. It held its bill upward at an angle, giving it a much different aspect from the horizontal-billed Common. The bill was all yellow except for a dark smudge on the proximal 3/5 of the culmen. The culmen had a slight curve to it at the tip, indicating it was an immature. The back was paler than the Common's and had broader lateral pale barring. The nape was slightly pale brown but very inconspicuously so. The head pattern was quite distinctive brown darkish pale yellowish bill held upward at an angle pale dark patch behind ear we chartered a skiff ($1.00) and approached the bird to within 50 feet, getting fantastic views of both. They were the only birds in the harbor and are probably going to summer there. Arctic Loon 17 -> N - migrants in breeding plumage - late.

It flew in from quite a distance and was located by Susanne sitting in the tops of pines - it followed us until we left the area, tracking us for over a mile while I was calling to it. It would never come close to the ground. It was almost continually harassed by small birds. We attracted it to the parking lot where we set up a scope on it and watched it for several minutes - Besides the "toot" call, it gave a rapid series of "chups" after landing at a new perch. white-headed woodpecker 4 Red-breasted Sapsucker 1- N/young GO' up in Red Fir Annals Hummingbird 1♀ western Wood Pewee 1 Olive-sided Flycatcher 2 ?
