Mammoth to Trumpeater Lakes Oct. 7, 1933 out to the island. Mallards, Coote Golden-eyes, Ruddleys & an Eared Grebe were seen. The fowls were so thick an accurate census was impossible but perhaps 200 ducks were on the lake.
Numerous elk, antelope and deer were seen along the return trip which was too hurried to make a census.
The Arnolds report seeing 4 wolves in early December 1932 a few miles south of the station. The wolves were at coyote bates and 4 coyotes were also present. Ben Arnold said the wolves came lopeing, lopeing along the trail, nodes down, taking long bounds as a normal travels.
The following evening Mrs. Arnolf visited the bite ground and reported the same observation. She said that one of the wolves came within 40 feet of her. Ben thinks they leave the park for lower territory when heavy snow comes. He says the cannot travel in snow as a coyote does. However I think this point is open to question.
