Shung, 1921. Knaptox, 23 mi N. Hazelton. 76, Melospiza lincolnii / 170 & Friedly Sparrow, 15.3gms. / 171 & Rusty Blackbird (white eyes) / 172 & Hairy Woodpecker (imm.) quite small. Weds. June 22.- Gray and rainy. Went on a long and nearly unsuccessful hunt, but in among the tall cotton- woods near the river bank, amid a wild tangle of young alder, salmon-bery brush and nettles, I found a family of Varied Thrushes (Turdus varius). I shot the male, and watched the female trying to locate the nest but found one young bird perched on a live spruce. Shot him but he fell then the tangle into the river. Could not get any of the others. There was a big Red Tail Hawk screeching over the cotton woods, but I wasted four buck shots on him in vain. The small birds, especially Robins, around here take especial delight in chasing hawks, especially Sparrow- Hawks. Yesterday I saw a flock of Robins chase an Owl, presumably a Great Horned across the shrubs and into the heavy timber. The archim fry caught a beautiful Spring Salmon in his net, as well as several large trout, are of which we caught. Near at the mouth of the shrubs I saw a female Merganser swimming out into the river with eight baby ducks, four on each side. Saw a Spotted Sandpiper on a log. late in the afternoon I went out to a small lake about three miles from here. It was shallow.
