1965 Bill Arney Journal July 4 The river is wide, very rapid, still high, and a little unclear yet. I fished, caught 2 small Bunows and noticed a double crested Cormorant flying off downstream rapidly. 2 such flights were seen, possibly a pair nesting here. Robins are abundant; also swansons thrushes, song sparrows. We saw 2 nighthawks flying above at about 8:30 PM. One called loudly, they circled in their characteristic flight pattern, and left. milage 55912 July 7 Got into Chilliwack by 9 AM. Had front bearing replaced and at 10 AM the money had arrived. We started for Wells Gray Park about 11 AM. We got into clear water at about 5 PM. We then drove about a mile up the dirt road leading to the park and camped at Bean Creek for the night. The creek is full, rapid and clear and brush around the stream was very dense, especially the Rhubarb. A very dense coniferous forest with cedar, fir, etc. Many old logs decaying in the humus. Saw a glimpse of a canada joy heading upstream rapidly. One is impressed with the temperate main forest aspects of this forest. It rained for a short time during the night. Day/te f/i 9:45 July 8 Up late. While eating breakfast a song sparrow approached in the brush (Rhubarb 2 ft high), and I shot him. A little later, I shot a Western flycatcher across the road on a swing. We packed up. I heard and tracked down a house wren singing furiously.
