Tennessee Pass elev. 10,400 ft. Eagle Co.
Colorado
June as no flocks were observed far from
the midline of the pass.
Gray Jays always about, foraging
in groups of 2. Often after one
individual would get a food item, either
a handout or natural, the other
would give a brief throwing-back
vibrating of the wings with a begging
note. I believe it would not be
difficult to study the vocalizations of
these Jays in their natural env't
as calls seem to fall into neat
categories: "wee-o", "wee-o-weet", etc...
A noted pair came to camp regularly
every 4 hours or so...) and foraged and
I gave them bits of food.
Abundant were the ruby-crowned
kixlets in this area. Territories must
be rather small, as might be expected
for so small a bird.
Pine grosbeaks were around. Pairs
were the only group seen. Perhaps
one pair frequents this spot.
