1965 Bird Arrey Journal July 3 contd on the Doug Fir. A house wren was seen at our campsite, which is on the edge of the grove, beyond which is a field of alfalfa 2 feet high. The wren made several foraging trips into the field, singing as he did in his scratchy voice (scold?). He would stay in the alfalfa lost to life for a few seconds then return to the surrounding foliage and sing and preen. This lasted about 5 minutes. At noon today we stopped at the town park in Grant Pass Oregon on the banks of the Rogue River. Here we ate lunch and watched 2 belted kingfishers on the E. Side of the river. They were flying about over the river calling, and it appeared chasing one another. Sometimes they would alight singly or some thrown up logs on the other side. They were not seen to go into the water for fish. Also in the park we noticed a nighthawk which flew off its perch about 30 feet up in a Doug Fir, flew around for about 15 seconds and then returned and settled down. By the wing markings it appeared to be a lesser nighthawk chordeiles minor. I don't think it was foraging, rather feeding.
