about 7" long already. Oregon Ruffed Grouse - more note. One of the fellows had his Lab. retriever with him on the field trip, and it sat down within 5 feet of the nesting grouse, but never gave a sign of having smelled it. The bird was up-wind from the dog, as well. I wonder if a nesting bird like that can prevent itself from giving off scent of any kind???? Long-tailed Jay - Saw a pair of them along Dixon Creek bottom. Chestnut-backed Chickadee - Saw two in the deeper part of the woods. Black-throated Gray Warbler - Saw one o' the ground under the dense growth of fir. First for the Year. Red-breasted Nuthatch.- Nest I reported on previous field trip is fully excavated and bird is evidently brooding the eggs already. Seattle Wren - Dick Hallock reports that there are 5 eggs in the nest.
