Flow through the forest making ideal habitat for the
waterthrush. Four (3 adults & 1 young) were collected.
MacGillivray Warbler, Wilson Warbler, Audubon Warbler,
Oregon Junco, & Winter Wren were common and one
each of the 1st 3 were collected. The MacGillivray
Warbler had 2 insects in its bill (both alive), one a
hover fly and the other an orthoptera.
Rain & cloudy dark skies continued for the 3rd
day straight but today was a little warmer. The
mosquitos disappeared with the cold yesterday, but
returned today.
Ward caught us a load of Fish tonight (for
the 3rd straight day). They run between 6 & 9 inches

has several. So far Ward & Conard have taken about
55 fish in 3 days.

in a snag at the edge of the cut. The nest was East facing.
Both adults were seen to enter on different occasions, one
was collected.
A Townsend Solitaire was collected high on the
in the coveque
ledges, above the second Hawkins Lake (3 lakes). The cliffs & ledgers
