Saw a pair of Sparrow Hawks, and called over a flock of Crows, fleeing me. Saw a Sapeweller (rubber) swelling sap on a young hemlock tree, he had several new worms food and was not after insects.

June, 8, 1921, June, 8, 1921, June, 8, 1921, June, 8, 1921. Weds June 8 -- Sultry and overcast, rather windy. It grows very threatening around her, rains a few drops, and then clears off. The moment the sun disappears it is cold but at other times is very hot. The rivers are rising still, and are away up, nearly as a level with my cabin. Hunted up thru the muskeg area, there are several others near there, but I got very little, got about seven specimens including a Crow, which I called to me. Came back an old grass-covered road to the R.R. track.
