Mr. Gransbury saw them and said he had seen them about
the summit early the same day, but not before, this
summer. Willard saw a Sparrow Hawk on top, and
Mr. Gransbury said this little hawk had visited him
frequently. He said further that the last fall (he staid
on lookout till Oct. 15 when he had seen temperatures
down to 14°+ and some snow) large hawks came past
often. One morning lately he saw a Grouse
perched on a rock ledge within 20 feet of a window.
I flushed 2 Grouse down in the hemlock at about
9000 ft.; they evidently follow the scrubby hemlocks cleans
to the top. I saw fresh deer tracks up to
9200 ft., and Mr. Gransbury pointed down to a green
patch at the base of the cliff to the northeast where
he frequently saw^sees deer.He says there are "mice"
in his house and he often sees copperheads (Callosp.)
and little striped chipmunks (Eut. amoenus?) about
the rocks.
The following are the birds I saw in "Hudsonian"
that is, about the 8000-foot contour: Calliope
Hummer (3 seen, all [female symbol] [female symbol] or young - no Rufous, as I
had expected - for there was a profusion of flowers
all the way up - a full collection saved by
Mrs. G. & Molly for the plant press); Cross-bill
(just the one "family" from which the old male
was shot, as above); Calaveras Warbler (the one shot
as above was one of a company of 6 or 8 birds
scattered and moving thru [sic] the dense hemlock
