381. Two Band-tailed pigeons flew about the trees over the Sheep lake. Sheep Lake July 17, 1933. About 7:30 PM Father & I drove by Sheep Lake. Two female mallards were observed in the lake, each with a family of about 12 young (it was impossible to get the exact number because of the water growth). It is reported that one or two raise a family there every year. I have seen no sign of the muskrat so commonly seen in these ponds in 1930. Grand Lakes July 18, 1933. This afternoon John Mac Laughlin, Mother & I drove to Grand Lake. Not even a marmot was seen along Trail Ridge. The day was cold and stormy. At Grand Lake, John & I about drove 2 miles southeast of the Outlet and climbed the trail to the fire look-out on the ridge just south of the lake. The outing route lay through medium sized lodgepole pine, characteristically dense.
