5 p.m. ?, José, has just come in ? us that a mule is missing, so we will be two days late in changing location. But - "mañana" is the rule in this country!
The feature of my day was a full close view of a Ferruginous Rough-leg (my gun was entirely out of commission at the moment!). The bird circled above me within 60 yards, showing its character well. It was the whitest hawk I ever saw. The whole under surface was white, save for sparse dark markings on the chest; The ? 2/3 of the ? was white, the ? third being light ?; The ? sides of the ? were white ? for dark primary types and for dark ? in a ? now at "wrist." Lamb and I have both seen this bird distantly in previous days, referring to it as "the white hawk." This is the only other ? besides the [Red-Tails] we have seen at this station.
Saw a Great Horned Owl fly along the hillside at late dusk last evening. We hear thin ? every night. | S3 Page 41Collector: Grinnell-1925
