Strong, 1921. Hazelton, British Columbia . 49. in the afternoon and rained, Mr. Swarth was not feeling well so I went out alone, hunted thru poplar groves and over big burn above the R.R. track. The country is dry with only a few creeks and all burned over, every damp place supporting a few alders or other deciduous trees. Secured fourteen specimens, found a Merlin and 0 Alt.- Thiebler's nest. The altitude here is 959 ft. 83. Robin J May 29, 1921. Hazelton B.C. 959ft. Alt. Tastes very large. Scientific name - Platesteus Migratorius - 78.4 gmos. 84. J Mt. Bluechiel. Sialia currosiciles May 29, 1921.

Hazelton B.C. 23.4 gmos. Alt. 959 ft, May 30, 1921 Hot and sultry, silly overcast. Hunted this morning up the Bullley River to the R.R. bridge. The river goes thru a deep, precipitous fox-canyon where the vixtians spear salmon, saw one Indian dregent. All the hunting was done in the typical low poplar country which is marshy in places. There is very little life, saw one purple-hawl? and one Snow Shoe Rabbit which answered my squeeling coming directly to me and surprising me so I missed him! Shot one of the two ?
