Fletcher & I went up canyon to a flycatcher nest in a
fir in the stream bottom. A bird was on the nest.
Another flew to a 4 ft. fir 25 ft. from the nest-- 2 shot
this bird (GMC 987) and the bird on the nest flew to
firs over its body. I left and Dick collected the bird =

up stream I was watching a flycatcher when it
dead
launched from a perch in a mature fir and chased
& fought another flycatcher-- they were tumbling on
the ground in front of me -- 10 ft+ when I shot
them with the .38 aux. These are my numbers =
