Rio Arvey Journal. 1965 July 9 cont'd Catching 26 rainbows all about 7 inches long + On the way back we saw a family of crows. They were very large and had deep voices, probably Corvus b. heppneri. Tried to get a shot at one but they sat in a huge cedar tree which hung out over the river. On the road we saw a (spaces) ruffed grouse hen with at least 2 chicks. She seemed very unconcerned about our coming and casually walked back off the road into the brush. Saw at one spot about 6 or more flickers, very darkly marked. Why they were assembled in this area, I don't know because we haven't seen any others. Here I also saw a western tanager male. The most common bird along the roadside is the junco it appears. Have seen no evidence of shore birds other than the spotted sandpipers. (Saw a water ouzel at the stream at campsite, foraged awhile at water edge.) July 10 Up at 8:10 AM. Rained Hard during night. overcast skies. Took a walk around campsite but things were quiet compared with yesterday. Saw a thrush briefly. Stellar's jays were ranging as usual. American redstart was in approx. the same place as yesterday. Empidonax flycatchers were very abundant this morning, I spotted them 3 or 4 times. watched a parent feeding a brood down by the boat dock. Saw a \varphi ruby-crowned kinglet in some conifers. A winter wren was seen on the ground foraging in the shrubbery. Unmistakable with very short tail, heavy barring, line over eye.
