June 18, 1962 into summer coat this month. In fact when we arrived June 2 they still were in winter coat. Now most others are in red summer coat. Was practically back to camp from high ridge & came on a pair of Williamson Sapsuckers feeding yours in a dead tree. Took both & spent 1/2 hr. getting the S down with a sling shot. It was stuck high up on trunk of dead fir. Managed to crack two kneecaps with a back firing large misshapen rock I had no balance trying to shoot. June 19 1962 We drove down stream to 7600 ft and spent 3 hrs. along streamside in willow thickets. We were trying to get Townsend Warblers - but didn't succeed though the bird is present. Curious thing saw no Yellow or pileolated Warblers. Heard 1 scrub-jay & the boy connected on them. June 20, 1962 Hunted through timber along camp & it was very slow. Took another Downy Woodpecker in mixture of white fir & spruce. This bird does not seem to be along
