Skyline Trip Page 3 Jorn Lake -- - 8-10-42 Olive-sided Flycatcher: Saw two adults scolding me from the tops of small pines. Upon looking around I found two half-grown young. They were sooty-gray all over and had the light gray chest streak characteristic of the adults. When I advanced towards them, the parent scolded louder than ever and dove by my head, just missing my shoulder; As she came by she snapped her bill making a very loud clicking noise. Green Peak ------ 8-10-42 Red-shafted Flicker and on the very top ridge and trees I disturbed about 10 grouse. Four sooty grouse and the rest Ruffed Grouse. Jorn Lake ---8-11-42 Red Shafted Flicker Western Crow Gray Jay Western Robin Alaska 3-toed Woodpecker (close by camp) Western Red tailed Hawk Shufeldt's Junco Red-breasted Nuthatch Clarke Nutcracker Solitary S andpiper Lewis Woodpecker Swainson Hawk Varied Thrush (Young 2/3) Golden Eagle Coast Jay Green-backed Goldfinch Sierra Creeper Fer. Rough-legged Hawk Seattle Wren Rufous Hummingbird These Shorebirds: A pair of them, hung around a particular stretch of shore and a good area of the woods for say, 50 feet back from the water. Their call note is a shrill two-whistle or 3 whistle. A soft shrillness. They don't fly rapidly or hard-- they beat 2, 3, or 4 times and glide a distance with their wings curved downward. They stay close to the water and circle in to a landing against the wind. Several times I have seen them wading thru the woods, over and under logs and thru the brush. They continually "bob" their rear- ends. I haven't seen them in the water, but just on the sand and logs at the edge of the lake. Description: Red-orange legs and bill, small head and tapered body contour to the tail. Less than 6" long. Sooty brown above and on head, and a patch (blotched, not spots), on each side of chest or neck. Underparts are snow white. No longitudinal white wing bar when flying. Red Butte --- 8-11-42 Coast Jay Pipit Western Robin Rock Wren -- Evidently a young one --- two dark spots on the breast. Ruffled feathers. In area where I was watching the Conys. Jorn Lake ---8-12-42 Belted-Kingfisher Sol. Sandpiper? Gray Jays--- Vociferous young, chased the adults and stole food from them, Several Alaska 3-toed Woodpeckers Less er Scaup at Mowich were very bold and good pictures were taken. They were as large or larger than the adults, it seemed. Duffy Lake -- - 8-12-42 Below Duffy I ran into a regular swarm of 100's of Juncos. Lots and lots of Flickers were also seen. Slender-billed Nuthatch. Big Meadows -- 8-12-42. Sierra Hermit Thrush -- Seclusive, and the call is rather choked and definitely different that the Russet-backed Thrush. Sooty Grouse and 2 young seen. Young were ½-grown. Pileated Woodpecker
