26 July Citrongea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska
after supper Merle went out and saw 2
squirrels on the gravel bar in front of
The tent. He called me and when I went
out, they were nowhere to be seen. He pointed
to the spot and we walked over and Merle
stepped on the adult who ran to the mud
near the tent and escaped. The other,
an immature, still stayed frozen at the
spot with rear end towards us and
it took several seconds to pick it out
from the rocks surrounding it. We
finally tired it out and Merle got
it and made a flat skin for his
parka out of it.
12 Aug Three Baranati Jacoys were making passes at
squirrels at the upper end of the bar.
Wishful thinking on their part. Solomon has
shot 4 for skins of squirrels that have one
down in the bar.
16 Aug There are still active.
