Stang. 1921. Kuopio Valley 188.
the river this afternoon and evening but saw nothing but deer
and drying salmon, and one quill, possibly a Glaucous
Winged? Oulo gave us their usual chorus tonight, in
most places the alder swamps make the birds
of the road imperturbable. Paell train, minus a cook, left
today, telling Um. along as general helper.
Mon. Aug. 29. Another dull, dead day. Shot a foolish young
Goshawk down the road, as he sat listening to
a Red-Squirrel swearing at him from under a brush
pile; those young hawks are very easy to approach.
To the north of the cabin I shot a few birds,
Nuttall's Sparrow, Lincoln Finch, Slate Colored Junco, and
a Fox Sparrow, "(5 in one? Mr. Swarth thinks)?" This latter
was one of a flock of about six in very thick brush.
Worked on specimens all afternoon. Mr. Swarth shot
a Horned Lark just at dusk?, it was nesting on a
dead tree, with the usual bowing, wing opening, tail raising
preliminaries
