We slept late this morning. The other girls set traps & went to them in the morning; after breakfast I made my way up to the Callopi nest, stopping on the way up to look at the robins. With the use of the mirror, I saw the three young robins lying in a peculiar triangulated position [illegible]. As I stuck my mirror above the nest, the young robin (2) stuck up his neck and opened his mouth wide. When nothing was given him, his neck fell back simply in its previous position. The 4th robin was nowhere in sight. The 3 began flying & twittering worriedly at my investigations. I followed the trail to the Callopi nest which I reached at about 10 a.m. Then, I remained at the nest until two p.m.. I returned to camp and stayed there until 4:00 p.m. I returned up the trail & arrived at the Callopi's nest at 4:30. F. Ogilvie, R. Paulson, and J. Rusnick came up to see the nest. All four of us left together for camp at about 6 o'clock.
