probably unable to catch his game
as in his youth so he followed
along the river among the many
camps eating the fish entrails
and other refuse of the campers.
There was no signs of the Coyote
being previously trapped or injured
by man, but under his skin
was a large pussey sack. It
was approximately three inches long
and an inch and an half wide.
There was no signs of a sore
on the antloid but when cut into
during skinning a large amount
of matter flowed out. I could find
no cause for this infection or sore.
Near the log jam at the south
east corner of the little Lake
I noticed a flock of swallows (20-25)
perched in a dead tree They
flew at my approach but on
waiting under the tree for a few
minutes they returned. I was able
to shoot two & and on studying
them closely I believe them to
be the Rough-winged Swallow.
