May 25. To Jackson
Left Bierers quite early
and took the trail down to
southeast side of the Gros Ventre
Saw tracks of a good many
elk, which had been coming
up from Dry Hallow and the
adjacent hills and had crossed
the Gros Ventre.
We saw no elk while coming
down Dry Hallow and at no
moment that the bulk of those
we saw on the way up have
gone northward across and
up the Gros Ventre.
We reached Jackson in the
middle of the afternoon
[illegible]
All Austin left me that he saw
a young calf in the Hobock Valley,
a day or two ago
May 26 Jackson
Snowy and sleeting in the
night and morning and all
the hills are white above
7000 feet and thin as some
below that altitude
May 27. Jackson
The day was bad and it was
impossible to do much
May 28 Jackson
Made observation on Migration
along the creek below town
and about the ramp
May 29 Jackson
More observation on birds
along the creek Weather fine
May 30. Jackson
Weather fine, but very few
birds along the creek bottom
Probably they have all gone
up the valley
