one in the distance); Hammond Flycatcher (one
right now saying "see-Tuck" (?) faintly in the red fir over
my head); Junco (I hear one now and then
trilling in the distance); Nutcracker (I heard the nasal
call and proceeded to give my usual "bluejay" call, when
5 came up, calling, one after another into the treetops close
about, to see the cause; soon satisfied, they quietly
departed); Chipping Sparrow (one keeps singing a little
way off away young (?) firs and hemlocks the only
snow all about!); Audubon Warbler (one singing in the
distance).
1:30 p.m. - In same vicinity; just heard a
regulation (??) "chorus" of two Hylas, seemingly from under
the snow where the water is running noisily. A tributary
comes from a snow-water pond (unknown1) in by rock, and
with a snow bank on one side extending to the bottom,
3 feet or so, thru which the snow looks blue like ice.
1:50 p.m. - An unmistakable Red-Tailed Hawk circling
above the tops of the red fir! Must be poor hunting
night here. I have seen no signs of rabbits or conies;
only 2 or 3 amoenus Chipmunks, 2 chickadees, and
a little sign of Thomomys monticola. No deer tracks above
the first drifts of snow, but lots of them down thru
the chaparral; saw track of a fawn with its
mother in the trail. Saw last night's tracks of
Marten and Red Fox in the snow, the former in 4's
like a very large weasel's.
2:15 p.m. - Just found a Creeper's nest, about 9
