Media notes
Scared off the mountain by the helicopter-- flew directly over us to the other side of the valley.
Observation details
First birds heard about 5:45 calling form the cirque. An hour later, 7 seen and an additional calling bird on the other side of the valley. Watched the birds for approximately 10 minutes before a helicopter came over and scared all the birds off. Pretty disappointed that birders would come via helicopter to the only location birders hike into on foot. Seems like a very inconsiderate way to "get a lifer" when there are plenty of other spots in the Ruby's the helicopter could go.
