Sunday May 8. The day was rather mild. In the P.M. I went for a walk and reset some of my traps. Current bushes, cormorant's bean. Monday May 9. Took a number of birds. Yellow warblers. Common as well as Fox sparrows which were singing. Tuesday May 10. Out in the woods early in the morning securing a number of birds. Took little in my traps. Searched a long- gone owl in a spruce thicket. Investigation of his stomach showed that with a microtus and an Eustomys already buried he had finished off with an- other Microtus and her five young ones. Large sheets. A MacKenzie ice came down Thursday. Wednesday May 11. Out in the woods before breakfast and all the AM. Took several birds, including the first Y.B. Sparrow. Got a male B.W. Owl in trap. The lightest colored one taken. After Supper went with Fred Camwell across the river in his small Canoe. Encountered a flock of Red- squaws and secured seven of them. They are very beau- tiful and interesting birds and with their wild clear notes and graceful flight interested me very much. Thursday May 12. Spent the forenoon in the woods visiting the lower end of the creek. Secured a few birds. After the afternoon as specimens. Got some willows and other shrubs. After supper went across the river with Fred Camwell. We saw few ducks and several moose but took three Short-tailed Gulls. Quite a lot of ice was drifting toward evening. Friday May 13. Spent the forenoon in woods. The leaves on the aspens and birches were showing quite plainly on the hillside where these trees predominate. But few geese or swans are now flying. The MacKenzie ice broke down at Six P.M. At 6:20, the night was full of drifting ice and passed several feet again. Crossing the bottom, and back Camwell
