Creator Transcript
  • Sooty Grouse. [underlined] Rose Harbour. Aug. [August] 10, 1946. In the last 3 days we have taken 1 ad [adult] [male symbol], 1 ad [adult] [female symbol], + 4 young around the edge of the clearing here. I know that there are at least 2 more hens + 1 chick still in the vicinity. At the moment food is almost 100% thimbleberries + the grouse haunt the deep jungles of these bushes. Just now the birds are moulting heavily + in very poor plumage. Have seen many places when grouse have been roosting under logs. Large piles of dung + some shed feathers. To me this habit would indicate an absence of terrestrial predators. Crop contents + tally of birds taken ad. [adult] [female symbol] 100% thimbleberry ad.
