Thompson 189. Yellowstone Natl. Park Sickle Creek Camp & Fire Area. July 25-29, 1931. Going along the edge of the fire we saw nothing unusual except that chipmunks were several times seen out in the grass some distance (100 yds. in some cases) from the nearest trees. Deer were seen along the edge of the burned area where spot fires were still burning. They seemed unconcerned & fed quietly. Many deer & elk tracks were seen about in the fresh ashes of the fire area. No injured or burned game was seen or reported from any locality, except one cow elk or mule deer Sickle Creek who had a front leg completely broken dangling loose. Where the fire had burned, as it did nearly everywhere, and the forest was only a group of bare, charred logs, mergansers, jays, ospreys, ravens, robins, woodpeckers, juncos, and others were seen heard flying & calling in a normal fashion. Chicken Ridge & Mt. Barlow are in the heart of the elk summer
