April 5 Huaylaco
there were only 10 adults in the upper group
and the 2 of the 6 adults was missing.
Then 2 ran down the hill, the 2 of the
6 chasing another which joined the
group up the draw, making 11 adults.
Another adult came down the draw,
stayed with the 11 A, 4 J for a few minutes,
then came down past the 6 A, 4 J. 2 of 6
chased it toward road. I then noticed,
just across road at 139 6 A, 1 J. One of
these might have been the one just
chased that way by 2 of 6. 2 of 6 then
chased out 5 adults which ran into
Broken Bridge Draw from upstream.
They then ran up and chased the 11 A, 4 J
a little upstream. None of them acted
like a 2. At 4:30 snow started again.
April 6
9:30 am In W 139 Draw 6 A, 1 J. In E 139
Draw 6 A, 4 J. 50 yd. up draw 10 A, 3 J.
At first upper group was only 9 A and
one of the 6 A was up near them. Then
another came down the hill. 2 adults
of 9 went to meet it with tails raised-
it ran down into the group and the one
from the 6 ran back to its own group.
10 in upper group grazed quietly together.
Their 3 J came down and joined the 7 in
lower group.
