Sept. 4.- Closely as usual, with brush in usual weather condition. Three of my steel traps were empty, but the fourth held an adult dark Warbler. He was firmly caught by one leg (front) and had evidently been waiting then the tall grass via the mallards' canal. His pan seems to be prime, with white chin and patch or throat. Shot nothing else saw: a Sparrow Hawk, the Teal have left the creek, a very dark young Marsh Hawk was hunting over the creek today flying within ten feet of where I was standing. Tatton claims there is a teen in an Indians trap in the cottonwood, but is so hazy as to its whereabouts that I doubt it. Worked most of the afternoon, hunted for grouse this evening and saw one live bird roosting but did not shoot it. Shot a small rat I in the brush but lost it.
