Early this morning I saw a Pigeon Hawk fly
over the ranch. It was stockier that (sic) a Sparrow Hawk,
somewhat broader wings, and decidedly darker in
general color effect. Also I saw a Lewis
Woodpecker fly from post to post along a pasture
fence. Tonight I again heard a Poor-will and
a Screech Owl.

Before breakfast, 5:30-6:45, I went up the valley
looking for rabbits; none seen. Saw, and downed, a
Cooper Hawk, but failed to find it in the dense
brush. Later, 8-12, Lamb and I went up on
