Working on down the Stream I heard another sapouche working on an elder on the stream edge but was unable to see it so I left. About 5:45 in the evening 2 Ravens were croaking in a tree a little N of camp so I took off after them. As I entered the alder grove a Varied Thrush flew up from the ground into the alders- a little further along 2 Band-tailed Pigeons flushed out of a red elderberry where they apparently had been feeding- the ravens flew before I was able to get a shot at them. About 6:45 p. a Mourning Dove flew over the camp site. About 7:30 p.m. 3 Black-crowned Night Herons flew over camp, Td.
