6515 Brewer Blackbird (male sign) im. 64.9g. Wading in shallow streamlet.

6517 Brewer Blackbird (male sign) im. 70.5g. Wading in shallow streamlet.

6519 Brewer Blackbird (female sign) im. 52.2g. Wading in shallow streamlet.
Tonight squally; flurries of snow and then
a few minutes of sunshine. Went out a while,
spending a good deal of time vainly stalking the
Ferruginous Rough-Leg Hawk -- the same one, I am
sure; for he has about the same route of
flight when pursued. Lamb has been on his
trail too.
Oct. 15
Clear and bright -- painfully glaring, in
fact; but the snow is going fast what with the
intense sunshine and a brisk north wind.
Packer will not venture on the trail today
because the snow balls on the animals' hoofs.
Out this morning two hours, 8-10. Birds
seemingly so scarce yesterday are abundant
again today. Noted the following species:
Red-tail Hawk (1); Ferruginous Rough-leg (1);
Cabanis Woodpecker (3+-); Raven (12 +-);
Pinyon Jay (large flock crying in the
distance); Pigmy Nuthatch (12+-); Chickadee (10+-);
Cedar Waxwing (2 flushed from cascara thickets
and seen plainly, resting and in flight);
Pipit (one seen on open ground near stream);
