>During the period September 13-15, 1999 I was up in the Bella
>Coola/Hagensborg area teaching another wildlife/danger tree assessors

>I found the birds surprisingly sparsely distributed - almost to the point
>that I thought there may be no birds in the area. I did manage to
>eventually find a few things - nothing startling however.
>
>In Hagensborg on September 13 were:
>3 CROWS - I suspect that they were hybrid American/Northwestern as the
>calls seemed to be intermediate between the two species. I had the same
>impression last time I visited the area. Anyone have insights into this.
> Any readers in western Washington will probably just chuckle and say so
>what - "all our crows are like that" Oh, well.
>1 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER - MYRTLE. I'm interested in knowing where the
>Alaska Myrtles are crossing over to the coast - there are very few people
>reporting along the north coast, so it's still a mystery.
>2 TOWSEND'S WARBLERS
>
>Up the Nusatsum River (just east of Hagensborg) on September 15 were:
>2 GRAY JAYS
>6 STELLER'S JAYS
>2 CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEES
>1 BROWN CREEPER
>2 WINTER WRENS
>2 TOWNSEND'S WARBLERS
>1 MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER
>6 RED CROSSBILLS (the little ones)
>
>There were a few other species here and there, but the grand total was not
>over 20 species for the three days.

>I had some short breaks from teaching just long enough to visit the Cheam

>Bridal Veil Falls - 20 km east of Chilliwack). Although I found nothing
>astounding, there was quite a variety of both passerines and
>non-passerines. At one point I could see an adult PEREGRINE FALCON, an
>immature MERLIN, and an immature SHARP-SHINNED HAWK perched atop different
>snags in the pond. There were tons (well maybe 700 grams) of YELLOW-RUMPED
>WARBLERS present. By call, I estimated that about 80% were intergrades,
>15% Myrtle and 5% Audubon's. All the ones I got good looks at were either
>Myrtle or intergrades.
