The chipmunk was the
small squirrel I have been
dying to trap & the one I saw on
three two occasions. The
white bellied squirrel I secured
after quite chase. Shot at it
as I was climbing a large
spruce tree its base. It then
dropped woundled to the ground
& scampered off the orchard
into a hole in a great
limestone boulder. This party
had two entrances, both which
I closed & them returned to
camp for a trip. This deer
in one of the openings, leaving
the other closed. At dusk I
returned & found the squirrel
caught. This one lived near the
Stone bridge & I saw it once
before on our arrival here. The
5 shot before for person Black
water creek cache were
undisturbed. Shot a chime
jay on the way over madrone
tree. Saw two species star
