Aug. 1874 253 Rains I fell in with my brood of summer grouse again and watched them for some time; one of the young, the largest, walked out on a Spruce limb and threw his tail up like a Turkey cock and kept calling but nearly the maximum of the adult G. The young Caracata had a different chirping from the other carbers, more guttural and continued for a longer time without cessation. In the afternoon and evening caught the trout below the dam; one of the half pounds. Aug 1 Obs with three heavy thunder showers. Off after breakfast as usual, falling down to Pesky landing when I went ashore and took No. 5 bird the best Hw. Sandorciiana (2 y.y.) Picis villous / (y.y. with crown red) P. pubescens (1 molt) & D. castane (young change). Shot also a fair adult S Wild Pigeon. The young woodpeckers kept together 22 birds but small as the P. pubescens were; it was hammering vigorously on a dead bird & I doubt if they are fed at all after leaving the nest.
