July 14 flew up & took refuge in a small
quirt of aspens.
At the S. end of this meadow is
a rock slide between two hills &
three which water runs when
flowing. Climbing this slide an
occasional chipmunks could be
seen as it darted for shelter among
the rocks. At the top of this slide 7000'
another meadow was reached. Large
quirts of Aspen were [illegible]
the hillsides. Humming birds, Flicker,
Hairy woodpeckers, Green tails, towhees,
kingbirds & an Oriole was seen as
I walked through the grove. A wood-
pecker & a flicker were taken.
Many sheep tracks could be seen around
a water hole in the center of the green
meadow. The water was full of small
tadpoles. The altitude here was 7000 ft.
At the south end of the meadow &
within, 200 feet of each other was found
an antler of a mule deer & one from
a white tail deer.
Returning towards camp, quail could
be heard often in the distance & one adult
was seen followed by some chicks.
