They had not lost their spots yet. after we brought the deer back, Dr. Hall, Dr. Miller and myself went out for my microtus sets. On our way back we saw a young red tail hawk fly away with a live squirrel - ground squirrel. The hawk had come down into some of the thickest standing timber to get this squirrel; showing that sometimes, at least, red tail hawks prey in wooded sections. Also in this same section Dr. Miller reports having seen several deer. We spent the rest of the day working on the deer. It so happens that this afternoon has brought the first break in the good weather we have been having. The wind blew hard all afternoon, and clouds gathered, from which a few drops of rain fell this evening. Sept. 18, 1933 Dr. Hall and Dr. Miller left last night. This morning Ward and I went back to the same place
