Description	BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY: In Tad Nichols' May 1959 diary, he often made note of the different birds that were seen in various areas of the canyon. 'The heron nests in the big trees just below Bullfrog [are] re-occupied. Four or five birds left the nests, and returned after we had passed a short distance downstream.' When they stopped at Navajo Creek to get water, 'a half dozen Canada Geese came out from the canyon mouth.' And later he wrote 'Up in to Little Arch Can. Two young owls flew out at us from the depths.' Another significant aspect of this trip that Tad remarked upon frequently was the clarity of the water in the creeks and pools. 'I have never seen so much spring water coming down Aztec Cr., nor so clear and inviting. The pools are beautiful, but a little cold.... May seems a good time for canyon exploring- canyons are either dry or contain clear water.' Passengers and boatmen on this trip included: Ray Manley, Bill Sears, Bob Ward, Ouida and Al Ball, Paul and Helen Miller, Irene and Earl Johnson, Lou Sick, Dick Grimm, Thelma Riegel, and Tad Nichols.
