Looking for the clutch of turmoors. Worked blind at nest #4. Afternoon clear but misty.

March 25 Morning cloudy till about 10. Photo'd Muthfester nest #2.
Carl et al. came down so we devoted day to fishing at Tinefaler. Caught 5 rainbows, the biggest about 18"; kept 14 or 15, very deep-bodied. Two other (ormore) big ones got away with 4 species. No rain but evening cloudy. Many discovered turmoors nest by snow-troobing in the a.m.
