Shrug 1921 Three Mile Mt. N.W. Hazelton, B.C., 4500 ft. (100.) 100. 243, & Eothison epizanthum ~~ (majestam) ?): 835-330-73-18. July 23, 1921, 244 & Marmota caligata -- 642-213-133-16. July 22. 1921, (oscytuna?) river, where I missed two ring shots, and they flew up into the bluff over the Bulkeley River. Sneaked up very close to him and watched him for some time, he is a beautiful dark bird with very yellow cere and feet. Did not shoot him as I was afraid he would fall into the river. Shot a Vaux Swift this evening from a bluff that was circling low over the river beach. Saw several Bald Eagles, they seems to spend most of their time sitting on some dead tree, I watched one nearly all afternoon and he only flew three times, each time to a new perch. Probably if they catch one Salmon in the morning their need for further hunting is gone. Thurs July 21 - Rainning, off and on all day. Started for "Nine Mile" ride. Granill and the wagons about ten o'clock. I rode one pack horse (?) and led another. We got out to a cabin in the -spruce and cedar country, about nine. Had lunch and then packed our four ill matched pack- horses. Some job! While eating we saw a flock?
