9:14 a.m. - Just flushed a [female symbol] Sierra Grouse from
the trail, and then from the brush adjacent two
young, well enuf feathered so that they flew
strongly. The [female symbol] went up into a fir 25 feet or
so, and did considerable clucking, and then a
[male symbol] "boonted" from unknown distance and direction.
Heard another female clucking (sympathetically?)
about 50 yards down the slope. Brush here is
chinquapin and snow-bush.

9:35 a.m. - Modoc Hairy Woodpecker nest, young
just leaving (one caught) and [female symbol] parent frantic;
lower lip of opening 3540 mm. above ground; in
dead-hearted, otherwise living, lodgepole pine a foot
in diameter at base growing with others around
swale in ridge top - Arctostaphylos nevadensis all
about. Old [female symbol] gives long series of loud chuckling
notes, hoarse and coaxing; young one, now perching
vertically against stem of little pine with head and
neck stretched up straight and depressed against
stem, keeping perfectly quiet. When routed out,
young one gives loud "spink." This is at about
7000 ft. alt. Just shot a full-grown juvenal
Lutescent Warbler from tip of lodgepole pines. It
came with chickadees, Kinglets, and other birds that
responded to the hubbub of the woodpeckers.

10:30 a.m. - Turned back and now close to where
Hammond Flycatcher was shot, at 6500 ft. Just
shot an Arctic Three-toed Woodpecker (male, with
