Jan., 1912 A VISIT TO NOOTKA SOUND 21 females and immatures were secured. The jays were exasperatingly scarce, con- sidering that in the vicinity of former camps in other parts of Vancouver Island they were frequently the most abundant species of bird. However, by following up every one seen or heard, we finally secured eight specimens. Of the Varied Thrushes we obtained about as many. Following is a list of the birds seen at Nootka Sound, both at the Tahsis Canal camp and at Friendly Cove, during the time we were there, July 23 to August 11. l?ig. 11. LOOKING UP TH?
