(Morse's Mill)
Bernardine Mt. Cala and I
did not find them in
southern New Mexico altho
the cariors of two raffles
Gila is suited to their
habits.
My attention was called to
the song of some bird, crowing
from the mountain brook
running past camp. I
thought at first it was the
song of some Mocking
Thrush for it sounded very
similar. On looking for
the author I found the sound
came from behind some
Willows at the water's edge
and observing ripples in the
water as if some bird was bathing.
I was still more puzzled as
I could not see the bird.
