Strong - 1921. Kuspine Valley, 23 mi. n. Hazelton B.C. 96.
Had two miewtus in my creel traps, and one eaten up by ants. Caught two errex, one along the creels and one in cottonwoods. In the Carr Weasel caught the Weasel in a steel trap across the head smashing the skull. The rat traps were mostly sprunks, a peromyscus young, a toad, an Olive-backed Thrush, but nothing else.
Fished in rain as usual. Tried to get in to Red Forked Harlis neet but couldn't make it, wow! what brush! Mr. Swarth shot a beautiful adult Sharp Shinned Hawk from a cottonwood over the river. Yesterday I shot a young Savannah Sparrow, to get there fellows you have to tramp carefully thru the grass till one is flushed, and then shoot it on the wing, because once started they fly for three quarters of a mile. Worked on Culs all afternoon.
