of a small [illegible] vented plate measured
about 5 inches in length. Chestnut backed
Chickadees are numerous in large groups.
These birds are easily excited by use of
a pigmy owl call. The pigmy owl call
also gets answers from creepers and
mistletoe thrush but this bird will not come
in close. Two Gray tree squirrels were seen
during the morning but they are not
making any kind of a call and one
only sees them by a lucky glance.
This varied thrush was seen in the high
tops of the Douglas firs. Just before I
reached the top of the ridge at 3100 feet
I saw a coyote running along the top of
the ridge.
The weather was clear and warm today
but a slight breeze was blowing during the
morning. In the afternoon a good wind
was blowing.
Jun 19.
This morning a wind was blowing
quite strong and this evening it has turned
into a high wind tonight.
The birds were extremely quiet this AM
and few were seen. Gambel's quail were seen
quiet, frequently seeking shelter from the
wind under the small trees and brush.
