Idk brown. Good broken
acorns dc. Found in the
foothills mostly. So in flocks,
of five to twenty. Nestles and in
most localities shy, but around
Mills dc where they feed on the
grain mixed through the horse
droppings they are more easily
approached; as is usual with
all birds, when they are not
accustomed to the presence of
human beings, they are very
shy of them.
Arrived at Morres Mill
This P.M. This mill is about
five miles up the canyon where
it widens out in a sort of
basin having a circle of moun-
tains about it two or three
thousand feet still higher.
