Sat. June 25. Hard pouring rain all day. Worked on owls all morning. Went into lull in afternoon, was swatted from head to feet. Saw Northern Fox and Scamp Muck. Coming back we got lost in the brush but finally got out. Saw many birds of Prey, and caught one young bird, let him go again. They all looked wet and disreputable. Our neighbor to the South dropped in, stayed to dinner, and all evening. Yesterday the two-man from the first cabin dropped in. Sun. June 26. Brush very wet. Shot two Sapsuckers, a Magnolia Warbler and a female Thrasher, typical curatus with salmon-pink wings and tail! Found a Sparrow Hawk's nest in a tall stub, also shot a Ruby-Crowned Kinglet. Heard a coyote barking below us yesterday evening and waited a long time hoping to get a shot if he crossed the flat. There are big tracks along the road which Mr. Swarth say are the coyote, and the Indian did say are those of a big wild-dog.
