Feathers. 1935 Boyes Prairie Prairie Creek State Park, 240ft., 5. Humboldt Co., Calif. (cont.) Oct. 5, 1935- ten or fifteen minutes, watching them and then decided to circle toward them, in an effort to discover more elk in the intervening brush. We were in plain view of these elk the full time and, while they did not seem greatly alarmed, one cow---cow watched us almost obstinately. Mr. Russell and I walked around to a different side of the hill and attempted to drive some more elk which we had heard into open country. On the way, we found definite elk beds under [illegible]1. The beds were in a thicket, well screened from the ocean winds. Some more elk were jumped near there and one cow was seen. We returned to Mr. [illegible] house and conversed with his wife a short while. She told us that the big bull elk of the herd had become entangled in her radio aerial at some time in the past and still carried some of the wire on his antlers. In our investigation of the herbage where we had seen the elk feeding, Mr. Russell and decided that the elk had eaten [illegible]grass, salal leaves and huckle- berries. The huckleberry too leaves were not eaten, just the berries. We returned to camp for the remainder of the evening.
