Strong. 1921. Kispix Valley, 23 mi N. Haggin, B.C. 85.
Thurs June 30. Rainy as usual. Went for a short hunt, and shot
a male Purple Finch, and a young Robin. There are
any number of Cedar Waxwings around here now, mostly
in pairs or small flocks. Mennie has been here cheeling
precipit all day, slept in the cabin last night. Caught
a rabbit in one of my steel traps, which we ate,
he was too bedraggled to sell.

Fri June 30. Still raining, brush wet as the devil. Went on a
long and only partially successful hunt to the earth.
Got soaking wet, but secured a fine male King-
fisher, evidently non-breeding, and a well-plumaged
male Sparrow Hawk, the latter had just caught
a Wright Flycatcher in the brush and was sitting
on a fence post tearing out its tail feathers when
I shot him. Shot an Andulou Waddle, thinking
it was a Jaytle, none of which have been taken, alto!
Mr. Seault thinks he saw one, when we first came her.
