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 .
