Stoney . 1921. Kispiox Valley, 23 mi n. Hazelton . 158. /368 & Canachites franklini /369 f " /370 f ad. " /371 f imm Cyanocitta stelleri /372 & " /373 ? Perithorius canadensis, (shot all to hell ) /374 f Pieveles americana, /375 Lepus, winter palage, killed winter 1920-21. Given us Sept. 10. 1921 there were two old drakes among them . Saw two chale mallards in eclipse plumage , each in the rear of a small flock of ducks ! Both shucks were flying too far out over the river for me to shoot . Fawed detier tracks and a fresh salmon on the lower bar , and bear tracks , slightly larger than my hand on the upper bar . The bear had been turning over the dead salmon and from the tracks appeared to have swum the river at this point. No fresh salmon were in evidence . The salmon on the lower bar had his throat partially eaten ; otter ? Saw no other kinds of interest ! Worked hard all afternoon putting up specimens . Went down to the river tonight to look for bear but saw nothing , except three queer snipes or sandpipers, two of which flew over me and one which rose from the rocky edge of the river . Shot at an Owl in disgust and came home .
