Red Butte -- 8-9-42
2 Mallard hens found late in the evening squatting together under a log
about 100 yards from the lake. Upon returning from the trip, I find
that the male at this time carries the near-female plumage. Probably in
the dusk, one of these passed to us as a female.
On the east face of Red Butte there is quite a growth of Juniper. The
whole face of this butte was alive with the clickings of 100's of
hummingbirds. It must be the evening center for them.

Gray Jay ---- Young? Dark sooty-gray body color. Head and wings a
little more black. Tail a lighter gray than the body. They glided
the same as the adult birds. While I was writing this, I was
imitating the gray jay whistle and I got one adult to light on the
table about 2" from me. I kept whistling and so did it. It pecked
at my axe handle and then hopped onto a loose pie tin and the noise
scared it away. 2 adults and 2 young seemed to be traveling together.
