When mountains call

Filmed during the Pack-Finley Expedition to the Pacific Northwest, 1927. This film includes beautiful footage of the Northwest mountains and regional fauna: its objective is to record the splendid and varied environments of these mountains. The staff travels by pack mule through the mountains. Water ouzel, ptarmigan, and a hermit thrush feeding its young are filmed. Two staff members climb tall pine trees in order to get footage of young bald eagles in their nest. Arthur N. Pack fishes and prepares his catch for breakfast, while a mischievous blue jay steals butter from Pack's campsite. The large mammals filmed include mountain sheep, brown bear, and elk (wapiti).
