Shang . 1921. Nine Mile Mt. 120. and a hen. These birds seem larger than our other pair, but are similarly marked. Before, the hens and chicks (5 families), and the cocks (2), have always been separated; as seems to be the case with the White- tailed on the other ridge, so this finding two complete family groups seems unusual. Could there possibly be Willow Ptarmigan? Going up I found the same flock of eight Sandpipers on the same little lakes, but after some miserable shooting and bad luck, failed to secure any. They are very shy. I did, however, find one bird I lost Aug. 5, and Mr. Swarth identified it as a Baird Sandpiper, identical with the feast, except in size. Coming back I saw the young Ptarmigans (3) of the first family they were as large as quince and seemed adequately able to take care of themselves. Aside from one Golden-Crowned Sparrow adult and four Carolina Partridges I saw no other birds. But down the mouse traps from the top, there was a Synaptomys in one of the traps quite far gone, but Mr. Swarth saved him. One Porcupine came to cabin tonight but he got his nose in a rat trap and left early. Thurs. Aug. 11. Another bright, clear day. Put up birds all morning. This afternoon I met Mr. Swarth
