Sung, 1921 Kuspion Valley, 137. Song Sparrows and friendly Finches with a few Juncos can be found along the roads in the tall weeds. Savannah Sparrows and Yellow Thrush are in the wet fields, and Mr. Swarth shot one Smith's Foregoing in the willows, this latter bird resembles a Pipit, which is also here, in flight. The Ruffed Grouse are in large cover, the young birds full-tailed but full grown, and the cover are hard to find. We have seen a few more Upland Plover and a few Wilson's Snipe in the meadow but they are rare. American Mergansers, Mallards, and one Green Winged Teal are the only ducks we are sure of, they also, are very rare. One family of Red Tails, a few Swainson Hawks, possibly a couple of Rough Legs, an occasional Cooper, many migrating young Goshawks (2 secured so far), a few dark Nigged Hables or Ploeff Merlins, a good many Sharp Shinned Hables, all young apparently and many Sparrow Hawls represent that group. Of Owls we have only seen or heard the Great-Horned Owl but these are in great numbers. This would fill a goodly number of birds but they are very wild and scarce, and the country as a whole is pitifully lacking in life. Sun Aug 28.- Shot one Pigeon Hawk today, after a long hard hunt. Saw little else. What a place! A wasted day, nothing to do, or to hunt. Watched
