Sacheen, cont'd
May 4 old yellow pine (Jeffrey?) trunk. Here also were mt chickadee, y.r. warbler,
juncos, fox sparrow, robin, western
tanager, evening grosbeak, pine
siskin, bluebird (sp?), red-tailed
hawk, Steller's Jay, and an
unidentified bird, brown with a
white rufous tail, about the size of a
mountain quail, giving a "ka-ka-
ka" sound after flushing and
flying a few feet -- was it a
woodcock or snipe? On the way out
of the transite, just along 89 near
the junction of roads, we saw a
pair of Townsend's Solitaire. At
the station - saw song sparrow also.
Beaver sign was obvious, noted bear
scat near stream at the transite.
Joe Thornton later said they were
common in the basin, but doubted the
mountain lion story of yesterday.
We took the birds along, (40, 387, 388)
and took a route which was
ercatic. The forest roads to Webber
lake were closed as to about 3 mi
in from 89. We took 49 S from
Sierraville all the way from [illegible] to Auburn
