highway to collect birds.
In his collection I noted several interesting
records. Parus rufescens, P. [Parus] gambeli + P. [Parus] hudsonicus
all from Wm's [Williams] Lake. Dendroica magnolia
taken in the autumn migration. Zonotrichia
atricapilla + Paserella iliaca zaboria taken
at 130 mile this spring.
At 134 mile saw a pair of European
starlings. They are now nesting at Vernon,
Lac du Bois, 134 mile + Onward Ranch at
least.
Found Mary Jackson alone + in good spirits
Her work goes well with 3 Goldeneyes already
on eggs. Mary [Jackson] has a hybrid drake Goldeneye.
Kamloops. May 20, 1954.
Drove here by way of Springhouse, Alkali
Lake, Dog Creek + Grassy (meadow) Lake.
Saw a pair of cinnamon teal on Alkali
Lake along with many other ducks + 2 pelicans.
Noted at many places along the way
how the fir forest was advancing onto
the cattle range. At one spot I took
photographs to illustrate the rate of
advance. I should work out the
years on which these seeds germinated
as there is good evidence of periodicity.
Pat [Patrick Waldyve Martin] tells me that Meadow Lake is a great
place for fish, ducks + sharptails in the fall.
