Stang. 1921. Kripiux Valley. 143. were a flock of teal, Green Winged on the creek by Jathu's noise and I got a couple by jumping them from the peds. They are very tame, but when jumped they are beautiful shooting. Also many Wilson Snipe, but these are hard to find. Shot a large Hawk, one of a pair, but lost it. I shot at first it was a Peel Tail, but believe now it was a Goshawk for Mr. Swarth scared two young ones away from the hen house where they were patiently waiting for Jathu to come and turn out the chickens. I caught two adult Muskrats, male and female, in my traps which I believe clears out the whole family. They are very brown with fine fur. On the way back I saw both the Blue-Sided Flycatcher and the Wood Pewee. Also saw some Vaux Swifts and a bird resembling a Bittern which flew very high up. Shot a Townsend Solitaire near the cabin evening. The pedl train, Wiegius, Ware, Watt, and WM got in this evening - Very rainy this evening. Sat. Sept. 3. 1921. Rained hard all day. Nothing below here in the fields at all. I got one Bept out of a large goose however. Very brown - possibly Sympugus. In the woods I shot a Peel Squirrel and a Plover, saw nothing else. Fished but lost my tackle on a big salmon. Many large salmon in the river now, Cohee and hof- Salmon probably.
