Didn't make any apparent passes at the local vertebrates. L.colony Lower Colony 10 AM. Again heard "pigmy owl" on way down. The chipmunks are just thrils in amongst the wy- ethia and the path is a deer high- way tho' I've yet to see a deer down here. Continued marking trees at the NW corner of the colony but also did a good many out in the water of the 2 enlarged ponds. Obviously con- siderable cutting has occurred here even since my last visit in June. A view of this grove must be in one of the photos to be taken periodically. 11:45 found 18" gar- ter snake with ? pil. warblers in jaws; grassy meadow area at streamside. This place loaded & y.i. frogs + tad. 1 PM saw & (?) Calliope hummingbird feeding on the colum- bine retar.
