Today we left Calvin Creek for Thorofare about 9:00 A.M. About 10:00 light snow began to fall & fell intermittently the rest of the day. Toward night the temperature raised to 40° F. and the snow turned to rain. Again the moose meadows were deserted.
See Colman & Harry Irishman report a large Grizzly hanging about the Thorofare Goldlight. I have seen no sign of it today.
Left the station at 3:00 PM & made about a 10 mile circuit up Thorofare creek, back by Bridger Table & across to the cabin. Ten moose were seen. Of those 2 were this year's calves & two were bulls. Only two of these (2 cows) were seen outside off the park and they were in the protected area around Bridger Table. All but the bulls were quite tame & stood till we were within about 100 feet of them. One occupied hunter's cabin was at Bridger Table.
Three Buffalo heads, about 100 Barrows Golden-eyes #3 Mallards and 5 American Mergansers were observed on Bridger Table.
The whole upper Yellowstone and Thorofare valleys are ideal
