It was interesting to note the changes in bird-life as we 

 climbed to higher altitudes. In the Stehekin valley, in the 

 dense .shrubbery, Russet-backed Thrushes sang, while in the 

 highest reaches of the mountain side we listened to the sweeter 

 notes of the Dwarf Hermit Thrush. In the valey Rusty Song 

 Sparrow made merry, while on the mountain top Hepburn's 

 Leucosticte complained to his mate. Up the almost continuous 

 cascade of Pershall Creek the Dipper haunted the waters like 

 a phantom. But for the fire-wrecked forests bird life would 

 doubtless have been more abundant, for iti the remnants of the 

 forest the birds were numerous. No insect-eating bird could 

 find an excuse for going hungry here. With my clumsy 

 hands I caught and killed over 8(10 deer flies in fifteen 

 minutes. 



One is impressed with the fact (or coincidence ?) that the 

 majority of the birds are no fonder of the wilderness than are 

 the majority of mankind, or else that birds and men are kin in 

 preferring the same regions. All along the government train 

 from Stehekin to the Skagit River, birds were far more num- 

 erous than in the mountain fastnesses. To be sure, it is large- 

 ly, but not wholly, valley. But here, also, men may be found
