March 24 cont.
were dominated by Scopophilus coliformis,
While they were doing this I put out 30 museum
specids along the Wedge of N. Pt. - from just below
water mark to small rock outcrop along trail to top.
This gave a total of 180 longtails + 30 mg. tops
total.
M: cuths signs are moderately abundant - averaging
less than 100 vols/can although i found more than one
can. Found foot as track about 1745. Saw 1
Carter's Goose on top of L: Belle Bunk that could have
been a cross. Found say the goose hunting has
been a failure in the last 3 years because of
harassed by guides or kayakers.
