A Fox Sparrow was perched on the branch
of a Yellow Pine, 60 ft. off the ground. It
flew down toward the ground - an east
facing slope, covered with Manzanita.
A Chickadee called. Sceloporus raced
over fallen logs. A Hawk sailed over
the trail, about 50 ft. up. I had
whitish underparts. After crunch-
ing across snow on the trail,
I came to a shady, gloomy
forest where an Audubon Marblet, pair
of Townsend Solitaires, Robins and five
deer brightened the landscape. The two
Solitaires (?) were in a dense growth of
ferns and juniper. The five deer crossed the
trail, stopped to stare at me, then pro-
ceeded about their business of feeding in
the mountain meadow where the trail
crosses the west forks of Sheep Creek. A
sound like a cowbell - only hollow - announced
the presence of a woodpecker up the canyon.
A Chipmunk ran up a Fir tree. Sceloporus
ran across a log. A Fox Sparrow sang
from Azaleas then flew to the ground.
Chickadees and Jays called as I re-
traced my steps to camp. I took the trail
all the way back to the Ranger station and
