Strong. 1921. Half way Cabin, 40 mi.n. Hazeltin, 152 hunting (Black Headed Jays) and turned in, nothing to dis- turb my slumbers save a few Peromyscus. Mon. Sept. 12. Another fine day. No frost where I was, altho there was at "twenty mile". Many Stellar Jays (B.H.) flocking around, as well as a flock of White Winged Cross- bills, and several Canada Jays. Caught one male crossbill alive by chasing him into the cabin, "Bill" and tried to bring him out in an H.P.C. tea tin, but the trail was too bad for "Bill", and he de- parted this temporary existence. Saw large cat (Lynx?) tracks on the trail, and faint black bear tracks, also saw one young fox, and a Miceotus running over the moss. Birds seen same as yesterday, and I secured two more "food hens" in the same sort of country. Walked most of the way out as the trail was too bad to ride. Arrived at the first cabin about two o'clock and was invited in to a wonderful dinner, listened to much varied music and had a fine time. Saw several coveys of Quart and many 9 hikers coming down the trail. Saw several Horned Owls perched on or near the cabin tonight. Also saw one adult "Biker" up the line. Tues Sept. 13. - Fine weather and frosts continue. Hunted for ducke along the river and wet fields. Saw many Mallards and Teal, killing five of the latter out.
