Strong 1921. Nine Mile Mt. 115. three Canada Muthatches, two Bufino Humming Birds, two Black-headed Gumeol, and a small flock of White Winged Gosdills, Our gemely neighbor across th slide came in this afternoon. Fri. Aug. 5. Good day at last, blue sky!!! Went for a long hunt up west slope of Mt. Saw and secured a female Blue Grize which fluehed from a bunch of rembr-taleam. She had been fleeing cut on a small flat but flew when it was a long way off. Found a family of Pucke Plarmiglan, a female and five well grown young, the size of owll-Ornisl. Secured the adult. The young birds are old enuf to care for themselves, and I rather believe that chicks left alone fall in with other families, for the families are very often composed of chicks of quite different degrees of development. It seems as tho the Puckle Plannmiglan were all on the west ridge while the White Tailed were on the east for we have seen them only on these respective ridges. The cold Pucke Plarmigian was midway between and we have seen no cold White Tails, last night we had the dance of a turine with Boreynur three called at hour intervals, and gnawed so loudly and viciously I had to crawl out in the cold and shoot them with the 38.
