We saw a young red tail hawk
fighting with another which was
flying off with a small mammal
in its claws. The hawk with the
mammal was driven to the ground
by the other and dispossed of his
catch. The mammal was not a
squirrel, though it was almost as
large as a small squirrel. We saw
this in the morning after our deer
hunt. The scene took place in an
open field sprinkled with occas-
ional oaks.

a spike buck and a yearling doe
were the results of our mornings hunt.
Ward got both. Nothing else of note oc-
curred today except the arrival of Bob
Orr, and a short visit from Mr. Joe
Hunter. The weather has become a little
sultry, the wind has changed to the
south. The day was spent in work
on the deer. We find we have time for
hardly anything except deer.
