Sprint day rearranging and drying our outfit. Saw some Black Swifts, ♀ and a flocr of Baird Sandpipers which lit around a puddle in the main street. Watched the Humplack Salmon swimming up the Slicena and Bulleley rives , every so often they surge to the surface breaking water with their hump, for all the world like a Shakes-fir. I prefer humplacks, however. Saw Gambels Sparrows, Rufous Hummer, but little else. Many Immigrants seem to have left here, and but few arrived. Had to listen to many long-winded and pointless stories at the hands of the Hotel bench-warmers club. Should a man try to trace down all these stories - "Arctic ducks" ; Reel, saw-dust eating, birds; "wild canaries" etc. he'd grow violently insane instantly. Tues. Aug. 16. Cloudy all day, but marvel of marvels ! it didn't rain.) We moved to Geo Beirnes ranch on the Kriapiox (23 mi. n. where we were), and arrived in time to get settled for the night. All day !!! Saw Mallard, Horn, Goshowl?, Wood Peewee, Pine Siskin, and Song Sparrow - some list !
