Little Lake, Calif. August 5, 1933. Hunted in the willows along the Little Lake this morning. After breakfast went to the Big Fern Lake to hunt on the sand bar. Spent all morning in working among the willows in hopes of seeing the scarlet tanager but without luck. On the way to camp I saw a & Nighthawk a flock of very small young. As I passed near the shore of Fern Lake she swam rapidly out for about 50 feet and then waited for the young. She then swam slowly across the lake with the young on her back. Now and then one would fall off and would seem to have difficulty getting back on. Hunted bats in the evening that were that were catching insects over the river. There are a large number of these bats. They seem to work continually up the river, pausing and darting back to catch insects but always working up stream. All that have been shot up to date are 3.
