1. Code General Account 6 August Jago Lake and then all precipitation ended at 22.00. 7 August Jago Lake 0900 out to see the traps. Back in camp at 1636. At 1156 I went up to the little lake above the Jago ca 1/2 mi SW and near the lower end, along a willow-grown drainage out of the lake, I set up a mist net. My collecting gear has a broken or malfunctioning firing piece, so the only way left for me to get birds is by netting and trapping. This net is set in the area where I saw a well-spotted blue throat yesterday. The net out 24 museum species in the adjacent willows. Spent the afternoon preparing specimens. Ran the traps again in the evening and set out another mist net near T1-16, across the outer- most bend of the river, in the area where I saw the snipe the other day. The mist net at the upper lake caught 7 redpolls. High clouds completely overcasting all day - occasional drops of rain.
