camp at 4 o.m.
I heard reports of elk having been seen
near where the CCC men have been dumping
logs, in a canyon west of the highway, about
1 mi. S. of the Del Norte Co. line. I drove up
there and inspected the nearby vicinity, but
saw no fresh sign. I then returned to
camp.
During my absence Mrs. Feathers had
captured a brush rabbit, which had run
into the house, while fleeing from a dog.
Birds and mammals identified during
the day were: 2 fox sparrows, 3 ravens, 15
chickarees, 3 winter wrens, 5 varied thrush,
5 chickadees, 1 pileated woodpecker.
Weather - clear.
Oct. 23, 1935.
With Mrs. Feathers, I drove north on
the Redwood highway to a point 1 mi. S
Del Norte Co. line. Here we turned east
on the East Ridge road and drove south 2 mi.
At this place I left the car, which Mrs. F.
drove back to camp. I then walked south,
making occasional circuitous walks off on
each side of the road. I continued on in this
manner to the end of the road, about 2 miles.
No signs of elk were seen during this time.
