Sturg. 1920. Leopix Valley 136. Sat. Aug. 27. Cloudy and occasional showers, needless to say. Got little after much hard hunting. Went thru bad brush to the river and shot two Least and one Western Sandpiper which were along the valley can in flocks mixed with Swampan Spotted Sandpipers. Coming back I shot one wailing Chestnut Warbling out of a tall dead tree. These birds are in small flocks now, evidently living on the sedalton and other berries. You hear a Thriller calling about twice a day, but they do not linger and pass right thru. Other signs of migration are scarce, the Warblers - Maraudia, Townsend's, Orange-Crowned, Pileated, MacGillvary and Peck Starts usually move along with the flocks of Chiffadees and Nuthatches. There are a very few Woodpeckers in the vicinity, I shot an adult male Little Three Toed today, but they are quiet and rarely seen. Redwing in small flocks fly over or linger in the tall trees, I shot one adult male in winter plumage. Intermediate Sparrows in their fall plumage (are here in small numbers, constantly stirring. Rufous Hummers are also quite common for this fielded district at least. The Pine Siskins are the only common bird here, they are in huge flocks and whether hunting thru the brush or all perched in a dead tree they make a constant fuss. There are a good many Water Snipes in their usual haunts,
