July 1st 1933 It is day was fine I went after visiting my traps which held only two rat-pig hunting. I went up across "low point hill" and then S E. down the divide Mt. 4. A. stood out very clear if I took several pictures. At top of a hill I found a mound of grass with a tunnel hole in the side about 40 or 50 cm. in diam to which I photographed. Shortly a short way down on other side I saw a marsh hawk but did not get a shot; at the same time I heard a quack like a duck so I went down to the lake just off the Sario side of the divide. I went down to the lake and saw a pair of female ducks murmuring nervously about in its center. After waiting for some time I shot at them killing one. I shot again with 75 but missed. I then tried four shots with the rifle before I left the lake entirely. I then climbed slightly on the Gabala trail down which I went a short distance when I again saw a marsh hawk possibly the same as before. It did not come close enough for a shot. I crossed one of the swamp tracts that form the back water off Sario and climbed the hill to the main trail at a point just before the fir forest starts. In the storm I noticed a lot of mound runs with grass and decided to move traps. July 2 1933 I picked up all my traps & set them out in the swamp returning by the way I had gone yesterday. I shot a pair of Coliculus browni killed out of a bunch... I got in to camp about 11.45 and waited some time after late for Brass who had gone to the other side of the plateau. Late in afternoon it came on to most rain. July 3 1933 I caught four rats of the same species as before. I had some difficulty in finding the sets & shot 2 traps all together. I did the same circuit as previous when in way to its lake I saw a marsh hawk and at the lake I shot the remaining duck that I had missed. I must have passed within [illegible] 3 meters of him & it was not till he passed the second time that he flushed & had returned to investigate a tall clump of grass. I got back to camp at 400 just as it came on to rain. While it continued to do off & on for rest of the day some
