Tompson 414. October 16, 1933 Lake to Thorofare Leaving Lake at 9:00 AM we rode through ice covered grass, covered from a wet snowfall during the night and heavy frost. Ice on streams and puddles forking everywhere. Day windy and cold but clear until evening when it became cloudy. No game seen until late in the day, except the Canada geese, ducks 7 12 swans at Mary's Bay lagoon. Numerous Rocky Mt. Dogs, and Chickarees and chipmunks were the constant company of our trip. Two Ruffed Greaves were seen east of the Lake and two at Calvin Creek. One Calif. Gull was still flying over the lake. Two moose were seen about 3 miles north of Calvin Creek. They were very wild. In spite of there being excellent forage in the meadows no other moose were seen. It is thought they are more constantly in the timber since the beginning of the rut. About 2 miles below Calvin Creek we heard what I thought to be an elle bugling. Bagger suggested that it might be a wolf or some other animal. It was a strange call.
