Vulture Blue Grouse hooting Ruffed Gouse drummin.- heard clearly. Valley Quail Gairdner Woodpecker - nest building, but I didn't locate it. Pileated Woodpecker - male calling loudly and flew to a tall fir snag and then "leaped" across 15 ft. N to another tall barkless snag in which a nest cavity is. He lit below the hole and "hiked" up to it, and went in without hesitation. Whether or not it is a new hole, I coulcn't tell, for it was on t'e SW side at 35 feet. The tree diameter at the hole level is 15", and the hole is elliptical in shape: () being 3\frac{1}{2} wide and 5-5\frac{1}{2}" high. The snag is at the edge of a gully on a rather steep south slope, which has been burned and logged off - only scattered trees and snags remain. The male stayed in the nest about 3\frac{1}{2} minutes, and hesitated on coming out - finally putting out his head and holding his bill open. In about 1 minute, out he came and flew to a barked snag 20 feet NW of the nest snag. Finally, after giving more call notes, it flew north over the brow of the hill.
