Creator Transcript
  • Red-Tail Hawk. A columbian groundsquirrel + some magpie feathers were obvious food items. Jasper. June 29/46 [1946]. Took one of the young of the above nest - the larger of the two as it appears to be of the melanistic type. Banff. July 9/46 [1946]. Found a red-tail's nest at 13 miles W. [west] of Banff. It was some 35' [feet] up in a large spruce on the N [north] side of the road 25 yds [yards] beyond the 13 mile post. The nest was a simple affair built on top of a large witches broom. The one young one left the nest but was a poor flier + had to be carried back up. It is only about 5 weeks old. Food remains were 1 microtus longicaudus [long-tailed vole] + remains of several microtus casts, col. [Columbian] groundsquirrel, red squirrel, chipmunk + robin.
