Poplar is thickly scatturd inbetwen
with here and ther a yellow
Pine. About on third of
t he lake has been grown
over with a stufy grass
and here and ther are thick
masses of water lillies. Th
river opposite th lake is a
sluggish stream while above
and below are rapids. The
lower rapids are quit abrupt
consequently have caught many
logs. This log jam has done
a great deal in making the
river into the extra sluggish
stream that it is at this point.
Most of my time today has
been spent about camp strughtling
and cleaning up. This morning
I took a short walk between th
lake and th river. Shot a Western
Wood Pewee and a Mountain Chickadee
This afternoon I set some traps
all of which were set about
camp so as to clean out th
mice and rats that got into my
grub last night.
Later noturd a pair of Downy Woodpeckers
feeding on the base of Poplar trees near
camp. Shot th male bird.
