Stang. 1921. Kempin Valley 156. Ducks and Salmon eggs cutting marsh grass or weeds under water they wave their tails violently in the air. They sit up very straight when feeding, holding their food in their fore paws in time violent fashion. Noises in the brush do not disturb them, to visit myself and a black cow, but a swirl of wings when a flock of Teal darted over caused them to dive and stay out of sight for some time. The ducks here all feed on salmon roe, as all can ducks. stomachs have contained eggs, and their favorite feeding grounds are the spawning bars of the various salmon. The "bumplecles" are pressed down the beaches, and a few are still spawning but the main run is over. The "big salmon" are here in some numbers especially in the shallow creeks, the males are big grey fellows about three or four feet long with pointed heads and regular canine tooth. The females are smaller and more silvery, with a black bar on the sides. The "whoo's" are yet to come, and according to Bill they are "very good salmon" just like the "spring salmon" a small (2 to 3 ft.) silvery salmon and fine eating. Followed the bears tracks all along the beach but discovered nothing new. Heard an owl hooting just at dusk this evening, then a shell screaming from the same place
