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
