green, large are, freshly washed on road, and also heard); Chickaree (2 heard and seen, up spruce and crossing road - sound not at all like our Sierra race). This evening in a walk east across the Seymour's Rim railway bridge, heard at least 3 Hyloes. Rained last night, and coming on to rain now (5:30 p.m.), not cold, though snowing on upper mountain slopes, perhaps 2,500 ft. higher up. Saw a flock of 12+ small birds in flight overhead - might have been Chickarees; also one Black-headed Jay in cottonwoods of river bottom. Heard another Chickaree. Oct. 14 Off east at 7:20 for Banff. An "open" observation car - scenery great; woods mixed yellow and red deciduous trees and dark green conifers. 9:15 a.m. - At Revelstoke: first bird seen, one Lone Robin, flying on meadow bordering woods. Cloudy, raining gently. Peaks not to be seen. Red cedars disappeared over the Selkirks divide. Lodgepoles come in. Much evidence of snow-slides last winter; brakeman says more slides
