- Species unknown - saved for exam.
Two Wren-tits heard from brush on
north slope of canyon (South side of
Monument hill. Another heard from scattered
brush and grass just west of small canyon
on south side of Monument Hill. -
Vegetation and section maps very
necessary for plotting exact spots of
birds and features. Field glasses will be
very necessary. While walking along
trail I heard a commotion in willow
thicket in bottom of creek. On freezing
I detected a Cooper Hawk on the ground
about 20 feet below me. I gave its peculiar
click-call when I threw a rock
into the thicket and then flew from
the ground into the depth of the thicket.
Perhaps it has something in its talons
not as yet I have not seen. As I
stand here it is making a commotion
in the bottom of the thicket but
I can not see it. Every time I
throw rocks it goes crashing through
the brush.
