Little Lake, Calif.
July 19 1933.
Started early this morning
for the brushy thicket at
the north end of the Big Kun
Lake. J.B. Conterno told me
that they were Scarlet Tanagers
that frequented that locality.
On the way up I shot a
Merganser. She was swimming
down a quiet part of the
Kun River with her brood
of about 10 young which seemed
to be almost completely grown.
They seemed to swim in a
formation one after another.
Was unable to find the Scarlet
Tanagers. On the way back
I shot a Hermit Warbler out
of a Poplar tree near the lake
shore. Saw a white backed
woodpecker.
Spent afternoon skinning.
Later set out small traps around
the north side of Little Lake
for mink and weasels.
