1954 Apr. 7 (cont.) There have been no sight records of war- moles since we have arrived 4 days ago. Perhaps the most frequently observed bird is the red & blue flycatcher (W.W.D. 63+64) which perch on the larger granite boulders. There are few insects about, and these birds have never been seen actually feeding. A male & female of this species were taken from the boulder tops at 10:00 A.M. These were 1/2 mile from each other, but at 11:00 A.M. another male & female pair of these birds were perched within 100 ft. of each other. At 9:30 A.M. a solitary bird was seen & immediately shot as it hopped up among some boulders near shrub patches (W.W.D. 63). Another common bird of this habitat is the partridge (?). These birds, singly, in pairs or in larger groups are often seen & more frequently heard on the partial brush slopes. See species account for description. Several times large eagle-like birds have been seen soaring 50-500 ft. above the ground; and a smaller bird of prey, probably a kite has been seen in this area.
