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.

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.

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
