38 55. Short-Billed Gull- Only one bird of this species was seen. 129- American Merganser- A lone ♂ was seen in the creek. 172b. White-cheeked Goose- A flock of 31 geese flew by and lit on the tide flat early one morning. 297a- Sooty Grouse- Two ♂♀ were secured, by Mr. Littlejohn and one by Miss Alexander. 302- Rock Ptarmigan- Mr. Stephens shot a ♂ Ptarmigan on the summit of the mountain between 2500 and 2600 ft elevations. About 3 o'clock in the morning of June 25 I saw another ptarmigan shoot down the mountainside. Both of these birds were about ½ winter and ½ summer plumage and were very conspicuous. They were evidently lying low in the patches of scrub hemlocks trees near the summit as I found white ptarmigan feathers in almost every clump. 332- Sharp-Shinned Hawk- A single specimen was seen near camp.
