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);
