Christmas, Gk. 1963 Journal June (3mi. N Charleston Peaks 8,900 ft., Spring Pitus, Clark C. [illegible]) Lee Canyon court) in the pine when I shot it 30 ft. high. Upon dressing it was found to have the torn pieces of a bird in its crap - only the feet could be used to identify the victim of the St Cooper Hawk. At noon a Forest Service truck came into camp & a young man asked "how are the bird watchers"? He (forgot name - about 25) graduated from UCB. He said the turkeys were introduced from Arizona to "the other side of the district." There are 3 herds of Elk in the range - the largest in Clark Canyon, where they tend to be very local. No word on "Blue jay" At 8:45 p.m. heard at least one poor-will calling down canyon from our camp. I did not respond to my imitation. I walked down to road 100 yds below camp & heard it - didn't come in. By 9:15 p.m., it was quiet. It was heard up slope to the south once. Must try again at 9:45. 2 formulated owls responded to Fletcher's call - one was not over 35 yds. Shove camp to SW - it called until I approached, then shut up. The other is down canyon. Have not heard a leaved Owl on this trip - nor a screech for that matter. Last night was clear, but at about 11 p.m., it sprinkled for 15 minutes (lightning storm to N & E). Today was hot dawn Lee Canyon & just bar here tied about 3: when a coal breeze came up clear tougher
