Journal R.E.Johnson 1967 June 26 Crater Lake National Park, Oregon (cont.) out to be as hair-raising as it looked because everything wanted to roll, slide, or break off in my hand. All were males & the remainder of the flock also appeared to be males. Until I shot them they had all sat quietly in the shade spaced [illegible] 5 [illegible] or more ft. apart. However when I shot one that fell below another flew along with it chirping. Shortly 3 were chasing each other back & forth in the vicinity of the death one. This gave the impression that one may have been trying to protect the dead bird (actually it was injured but alive & upright) from the others & suggested all were males except the injured one. However one of those fighting, as well as the injured were collected & all were males. No such furs occurred over another bird that was killed outright & only fell a short distance. Perhaps the lower location is close to a nest? However the injured bird was never attacked by the others. Conclusion uncertain. Didn't get all birds back up cliff until 6 PM. Chipping sparrows trill from trees near meadow at 6:15 PM. Golden Eagle soared across [illegible] north face of cliffs of Garfield Pt. A Robin feed on the meadow 30 ft upslope in a dry location.
