Lesser Canada Geese - a flock of 75-125 flew by the hill below us, going north.
Cackling Geese - a flock of 150-175 flew by about a half hour behind the Canadas.
3 Vultures were circling over the ridge-tops in the vicinity today.
Blue Grouse - hooting continuously this afternoon - heard 3 different birds.
Harris Woodpecker - 1 male working a 5" dead fir snag in the heart of the forest. He
was very busy "sounding" the snag and we approached pretty close to him.
He pecked everywhere, and when he located a dud spot he fed there, presumably.
Golden-crowned Kinglets - a flock working thru the upper story of the fir.
Evening Grosbeaks - several flocks of 25-30 birds seen all over the area this p.m.
OSC Campus, SE Corner of Ag. Bldg. 1815. I climbed to the robin's nest previously
described in the Cascara tree. I banded the four young, 3 of which were getting
down covered and had pin-feathers developing. the 4th one was about ½ the size,
and did not have pin-feathers yet. The abdomen was the predominant development.
Band #s 41-224296, 97, 98, and 99 were placed upon the birds.
