This is almost the identical spot where one was seen in 1948 (July 22, Aug.6), the whole surrounding area being of coniferous close forest with cleared or meadow areas quite Aug.10 I seen in same area under like conditions.

Some 40 or 50 people turned out to see the bird, which just sat on the limb next to the trunk looking down at us. no small birds scolding it. 4 pellets found nearby were of size indicating this bird. I collected them (uncatalogued) for possible later study.
