July 23. Took a fair catch of Eustomy
Micratus & Peromypus and one Synap-
Lomyg and shot a number of birds.
Obtained a rabbit (halfgrown) from a
Boy. Reset some traps. A squirrel or two
heard in the spruce woods at the farther
end of the trail, but I could not get
a sight of one. They seem to be very
shy being doubtless hunted for food
by the Dugribs who are generally on
the verge of starvation.
A single Bohemian Waxwing was seen in
the willows on the telecedi's north
Post but I was unable to obtain it.
