Stung. 1921. Hazelton, B.C. 959 ft. 60.
Saw a Hawk between a Sharpshin and a Red-Tail in size, dark colored and heavy in flight—possibly a Goshawk. Could not get him. Spent afternoon skinning as usual. This morning Mr. Swarth shot two Red-Eyed Vireo, we saw several others. They are a handsome bird, larger than the Warbling Vireo and with a different note. Their bright-red eyes are a clear identification mark. My traps yielded one Sorex (a new subspecies for us here) and two Peromyscus.
It was very cold last night.
128.5 Olive Backed Thrush, 29.6, June 8, 1921. (Hylocichla ustulata)
129.5 Lincoln Finch, 18.3 a.m. June 8, 1921. (Shot in mudley, out spr.)
130.9x Magpie Gray Warbler, 10.4. June 8, 1921. (Caught in mouse trap)
131.5 Red-Eyed Vireo, 17.1 June 9, 1921. (Vireolga olivacea)
Thurs June 9.—Worked on yesterday's specimens all morning.
My trap line only yielded one Peromyscus and one Sorex.
Shot a Red-Eyed Vireo this morning in the poplars.
Went out over to town in the afternoon for more coal; stopped to gossip with the fur-buyer and his wife. Saw a pair of beautiful little slate totting poles for which he wanted $125.00. About sixty Indians are leaving town for Port Edward on the coast where they fish. The town is in a decided slump, ever since the B.-R. work stopped and the mines shut down, there has been little going on.
