"Jackson Lake
272.
July 7, 1932
Tompson
A Beaver
Jessler concurs with Marie &
Woodring in saying this year is the
only nesting pair in the region.
No beaver are on Emma Matilda
or Two Ocean Lake this year nor
on the Beaver house lake east of Lake.
A Beaver at the Swan Lake.
Today was seen eating the pond
lily blossoms and carrying them
to its house on the island. Perhaps
it seeds them to the young ones?
This is our hypothesis only.
Two moose & an elk fed in
the lake this afternoon & gracefully
swam across. Only their heads appear
above the lily leaves. He could not
see for a certainty that they were
eating lily pad leaves, but they
appeared to be doing so.
One Great Blue Heron flew over
the lake. No ducks nor loons were
seen.
Jessler commented tonight that
he had planted 500 Gingerling Eastern
Brook trout in the Swan Lake last fall.
He saw 3 people (one fishing) at the
lake this afternoon. The track into
the lake is your road. Jessler thinks
he may fall a couple of trees across the
road.
