Trumpeter Lake Camp

May 28, 1932
Yellowstone
no nests except the Swan nest. Several
coots acted as though they had nests.
The day is turning windy, gray, & cold.
As we came out from Mammoth
this morning we saw a large black
bear just east of the Gardulks Bridge.
It was in splendid condition, and
fine winter coat. It was very wild and
closed up the road, perhaps 1/2 mile
before it plunged down a steep embank-
ent and stood down in the tree
looking at us. Such action is in
marked contrast to the "hold-up"
habits of the summer bear.
About 100 elk were feeding in
small herds scattered along the road
all the way to Roosevelt Station.
Several elk had antlers with 3 tines,
and one had the 4th beginning.
Marmots & ground squirrels were in
evidence everywhere early in the
morning. About 20 deer were seen
feeding along the road.
One mourning dove was seen near
Roosevelt Station.
1:00 PM
As we came back very little game
was in evidence, except numerous flocks
of Audibon Warblers. A pair of
Thrashers by the stone jay. Their song
was very Thrasher-like, but not as loud.
