Staghen Creek Field Station June 8, 1975 Both as I arrived mid afternoon. The hummingbirds were immediately seen patrolling the spot where I hang their feeder. I don't know if they hang around here every day or whether perhaps the activity of our arrival brings them. I had sugar water in the feeder before dark and found birds got a taste of it for dessert by bed-time. Beavers have built several new dams in the vicinity of our camp — the closest one around the bend just below the overhouse. Heavy are on the willows already. I fished for half an hour at dusk but there was no action at all. June 5, 1974 Went to town to get a canle of gas (my license is out so I couldn't fill yesterday). Also some groceries and muslin for dry flies. Got word for awhile from the new logs before bed cut for me last fall from dead lodgepole pines behind our cabin. Also went into the meadow and cut young lodgepoles that are sprouting up all over the place. Must have cut close to 100, from 1 to 7 ft. tall. The meadow would soon disappear if you left it. At daylight there were two deer in the meadow, a doe and a nice sleek buck with velvet tines indicating several points.
