  • enclosed with a fence. Captured flightless birds will provide the stock. I was impressed with the business like way in which the engineers made a decision. Before they left it was decided that they would do the job right away and that they would find the 160-thousand necessary. After lunch we had a short nap + then went for a 12 mile walk eastward The objective was to see the nature of the forest + something of the game birds We saw 1 hazel grouse 2 [female symbol] blackgame + 1 male Capercaille [Capercaillie]. This bird stayed in a pine top until I went past + then broke out in flight. It looked as big as a turkey. I am most surprised to know that they make long movements during peak periods sometimes 300 miles or more + moving in big flocks sometimes flying so high one can just identify them. They cross the Gulf of Bothnia in some narrow places + pile up along the shore. Some even cross to Sweden in the north; There is a return movement but nothing spectacular. This bird during the winter moves into pine stands along the margins of swampy areas + prefers to feed in the very tops of flat-topped alder trees. In the summer + autumn it eats a lot of berries.
