Strong, 1921.
Hazelton, B.C.
51.
A crow chased him across the river and flew over the poplars
even after I shot the hawk so I secured her too. A

Sawed two warbling vireos, a Hammond Flycatcher, and
and Audubon Warbler (Mr. Sneath) in the former place.
In the burnt-over country I shot a Mt. Tselinid 8,
a female Chipmunk, and a Sharp Shinned Hawk, a

robins when I came up, as he disengaged himself
and flew off I squealed, and he came close enough
for me to get him with a no. 6. Saw a Blackbird
either Brewer or rusty, from the look of it I should

which appeared to be Veeries Sparrows with white
outer tail feathers. Saw a Red-Crested Squirrel's
nest in a tall stalk. A snake, Garter, with bright
yellow sides rustled off the trail but I could not get
it, (about two feet long.) Pine Siskins are in flocks
around here now, like the Swallows I have hard

rigged them for us. Caught a few White-footed
Mice and one gray Skunk in the traps. The Olive
