Creator Transcript
  • upper parts could have been an American Roughleg Hawk. Flickers were seen for the first time. Jumped to Blue Grouse. Coming in to Camp shot a Red Squirrel and was after another when a Hermit Thrush got up so I took it. A young bird in the moult it has made a very poor skin. Aug [August] 30 [1943] Rain + fog in the morning trying to clear somewhat about eleven o'clock. These Canada Jays take some desperate chances with hawks. Twice this morning they were teasing a sharpshinned Hawk, and it doing its very best to catch one. I did my best to shoot the Hawk too but with no better luck than it had catching the Jays. About eleven thirty we started out for Mt. Washington where the Marmots are supposed to be. On the trail toward Paradise Meadows we saw a woodpecker that was either a Hairy or a Three Toed woodpecker. A missed two shots. Rather the shot failed to reach the bird. Throughout Paradise Meadows were signs and runs of mice and we noted some muskrat work on the way back.
