Marshall, 1939 Whitaker's Ford, Nov, 17-19 All the men around the area are pretty much worked up & antagonistic to the park program of forcing them out. Tom Lindbergh expressed the conviction that he would have to go to South America to hunt & trap now. He had taken 2 bear this winter. The CCC camp has cleared out fallen timber & has thinned the trees for 100' on each side of every road on the property to reduce fire hazard. Wortman is clogging aging firs throughout the area - he is required to trim the unused parts so that disintegration may take place rapidly. There is very little water in the stream. I believe that many of the birds are here only because of the mildness of the weather (mice) or seed food still exposed & available): Robin, junco, wren, P.C. kinglet, andubon warblers.
