Strong. 1921, Hazelton, B.C. 98,
Sat. July 16. Worked moving into Charlie Clifford's shack all morning.
Fished with no results all afternoon. There are
many night hawks here now, also occasional flights
of Vaux and Black Swifts fly over. Went out in
the woods just at dusk this evening and via
the Berlin route found and killed a male Gos-
hawk? in intermediate plumage. He had evidently
just killed a Grouse and was apparently perched
for the night, as was the other one I killed here.
His pouch was much distended, and proved to be
filled with bits of Grouse meat. A cavity of young Grouse
were nearly under him but he was stupidly sitting
as a hind not moving. He was very small, and
had eaten a Thistle earlier in the day, as I
found both feet in his stomach. (Strong 240.)
Cloudy today.
Sun. July 17. Worked around the house and fished this
morning, went fishing with Frank this afternoon.
Caught enough for one meal. Fair weather today.
Mon. July 18. Cloudy. Went hunting this morning but secured
nothing save a pair of young Sparrow Hawks.
Mr. Swarth packed boxes for shipping all day.
Put up my hawks in the afternoon and did
some odd jobs. Surfaced around the beach all evening
