  The smaller mammals appear to be scarce along
the Upper Megalloway. I actually did not see either a
Red Squirrel or a Chipmunk during the entire trip 
and but one Muskrat was seen. Deer, as I have already
mentioned, are evidently very numerous. Indeed I have
never seen the path so numerous & so deeply worn elsewhere.
  There were many birds of the common kinds
but I failed to meet with many that I expected to see
such as Brown Creepers, Crossbills, Canada Jays, Three-toed
Golden winged, Pileated and Downy Woodpeckers, Buteos,
Bald Eagles and Golden-eyed Ducks. I also failed to
hear any of the larger Owls but they are said to be
very common & noisy at certain times & places.
  Here is a full list of the species met with:
1. Turdus pallasii - one
2. " [Turdus] swansoni - several
3. Merula migratoria -one
4. Troglodytes hyemalis- one
5. Sitta canadensis - several

9. Helminthopila ruficapilla -one
10. Dendroica coronata - very common
11. " [Dendroica] caerulescens - one
