Mammoth to Snake Entrance 271. July 6, 1932. in spite of both of us, they went the other way. A few minutes later she returned to the road & continued her hold-ups. She seemed unaware that anything had happened. Finally we had to leave the observation to get lunch at Next Thumb. She was not malicious toward anyone but just taking everything she could get ignoring people without any fear. She had already become dangerous, it seems to me, because of this total lack of fear. Jackson Lake July 7, 1932 The lake where the swans nested last year, about 6 miles northwest of Moran, was visited this afternoon. The swans had one cygnet only. Their heads were stained quite reddish brown & they were almost invisible in the water lilies. Charles Fessler of Moran says that he thinks 2 of last year's cygnets went over to Jackson Lake & may have been the 2 youngsters which wintered with 2 pairs of adults at the upper end of Jackson Lake by some hot spring. One other pair (Murie's pair) tried to fly further south on the lake & perished.
