St. Churchill and several other interesting birds. Two boys reported seeing Saway orle within a few miles of the iost. In the afternoon reset some of our traps and stemmed on mammals and a lot of birds. July 25. Caught a large series of Mierotus, and one Microstomy, at its burrow. Got a number of birds not seen before, and my brother saw a Bohemian Bathering, and several Thamodes (gray-chiselled) but was unable to collect them. Found Harris' Sparrow to be abundant among its stunted spruce. They have a sharp musical chip which can be heard quite a distance. Obtained a black-throated Laver, found in a pond back of the Fort. July 26. Caught a large series of Mierotus, two Lemmings and one adult Phoenacoma. The latter was taken in a dry stand and a few large yards across, in the midst of a wet marshy over. Shot two Sungarps (Saplands) in the marsh in front of the Fort. They have a note converting 2 several sharp chips uttered in rapid succession. Also shot a least Sandp plain and a Rusty blackbird. A large flock of the latter was seen. They probably have migrated down to the coast from up the river where they sometimes feed. July 27. Got many Mierotus, a Microstomy, and a Phoenacoma. The Lemming seems to be uncommon and it requires a great deal of work to locate their burrows which are hidden, used by beneath a thick stunted spruce and as they do not make plain runways they are easily missed. July 28. Got another Lemming and a Phoenacoma today, and a few Mierotus. It rained hard nearly all"day, making proper attention to traps impossible. In the late afternoon while hunting on the marsh I shot a short- horned owl which was attracted by my squeaking. A Fox within shrill was seen but I could not get it.
