Bill Arvey journal 1965 July 12 contd. Saw some cedar waxwings here also. came back, circling around the boat landing. Saw 2 Spotted Sandpiper chicks here with down, running around on the road cut. They bobbed their tail like adults. After we left the parent came rushing back. At the landing we watched a family of what appeared to be chipping sparrows. Here also was a pair of dark birds, blackbird or cowbird size flycatching. Though I watched for awhile could not identify them for sure. Since the day was + clear, Insects were out and so were swallows, swifts. Saw Tree swallow come down and land in the dirt road by the landing, he picked around on the ground for 1/2 a minute then flew off. Rough wing swallows are abundant here, seem to be playing with each other over the water, flying & chasing in big circles. I think I saw Vaux Swifts also. Dark smile, tumbling flight, none of the White-throated's distinctive marks, small tail. At 6 I walked downstream on the Clearwater river and caught 4 trout about 7" long. I went back after dinner and caught 6 more (about 12" long each) on 15 miles which must weigh over a lb. Lost 38 lbs. July 13 - up at 8, break camp, leave by 10. Mileage 56287. Traveled to 6:30, 'til we're about 5 miles north of Penticton B.C. on Hwy 5. We caught a dirt road which is used by subdividers to take us up to a mesa where's over - looks on town and Okanagan lake. Here it is Ponderosa
