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.
