"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.
