- with the gun and soon saw a flock of pipits
of which one landed on a rock and I got it.
Somewhat later I came onto a group of
four ptarmigan; the first I had ever seen.
They made no attempt to fly or escape in any
manner, so that it was an easy matter to
watch them. It was a hen and three young
and eventually after they were duly photographed I
took the hen and two of the young. Later, right
at the top of the peak, I saw another [sentance crossed out]. Somewhat
further on, I saw another single bird and took
it for a male but it turned out to be a
female. At the very peak, in a snowstorm, I
saw another bird.
Near the summit four Ravens came over.
and [word crossed out] I had about given up any chance of Rosy
finches but right at the top I put one up.
It dived over the cliff into the fog. I started
hunting them then, but it was not until
after the rest of the party got to the top that
I finally got one, about 100 feet below the
summit. Later on the way back down
I got another as it came along and settled
on a nook. Quite different to the Ptarmigan
these were very shy and difficult to shoot.
On the way down nothing else was
seen. Fog and rain [crossed out] snow at the summit changed
to rain as we came down: the weather
was pretty bad. A hummingbird was also seen
near the top.
