June 7, 1935 Marmots here, one small one I took for the female, and one very large one, the male. I watched them for a long while from a distance, too far for a shot with the shotgun and as soon as I started to move closer they disappeared. I waited for more than half an hour at close range, but they did not re-appear. Rock Wrens were singing here and a pair of Golden Eagles were sailing in the distance. A Sparrow Hawk was seen hovering over the ridge. While descending the slope I flushed a White Tailed Jackrabbit and after chasing it half way around the mountain finally secured it. It was the first I had ever shot and I was amazed at its large size. It ran exceedingly fast with long high jumps but could dodge and turn as well as a Black Tailed Jack. It contained 9 embryos x131 almost ready for birth. South of the rocks on the ridge there is a large clump of mixed Lodgepole Pine and Fir where the snow is still very deep, in places as much as 8 or 10 feet. Here we were able to closely observe the Junco which is common in this district. My description of the bird is this: Size of Oregonus, tail feathers similar but with lead wings and rest of upper parts uniform dark grey with exception of a dull red patch in the center of the back. The bill seems to be not as white as Oregonus. A Fox Sparrow, a pair of House Wrens, Hermit Thrushes, several Ruby Crowned Kinglets, and a few of an unknown species of Flycatcher were seen here.
