Yosemite N.P. Nov. 29, 1931. Trif around Yoe. Falls trail & River. On the north side of the valley we saw a flock of Golden Crowned Kinglets foraging in the snow & in the trees. Their characteristic wing flip seemed ill adapted to the ground but natural in the trees. We could not see what they ate. Others seen were: Titmouse 2, Robin 1, Towhee (Spotted) 1, Stellar Jays many, Bush Tits, many; Willow Woodpecker 1 Cali. Woodpeckers several, Canyon Wren 1, A Pileated Woodpecker was seen on the south side of the valley by the Fourmile Trail yesterday. The Tule Elk bugled this morning. Chickarees & Stellar Jays are very abundant this winter. Nov. 29, 1931 Near the Rangers Club this morning a buck & 3 does were seen. The buck sniffed of the ground & then stretched his head & neck horizontally with nose wrinkled as they are seen to do during the rut. This may perhaps be a sign of rut instinct still evident. The Tule Elks have bugled all morning. Snow is melting in the mevery rapidly, but it is still a foot deep on the level & on the south side of the valley.
