Code General Account 3 August - cont- coming down along the north side of an allowed fan. Along this stream there is a stand of felt leaf willows which reach heights of 15 feet in places - gradually becoming shorter toward the head of the stream. This is the largest stand of "tall brush" in the immediate area - ca 1/2 mi long. Stands of dwarf shrub are frequent both on the sides of the valley and on the floor. In the evening, I set out a mist-net in a steep sided, dwarf-bush covered creek, about 20 yds wide & 5-8 feet deep, which runs into OKfilak Lake. Also set out a line of traps along the margin of OKfilak Lake. Weather was mostly clear from 1000 on. In the early morning there had been fog over the upper part of the valley obscuring the higher walls. There was some light vein during the night August OKfilak River - another bright, clear day. Spent the day setting out two moose transects, one on a low, inter-aluvial fan area - mostly sedge-grass swale, and one on the steep alluvial fan just back of camp, and working on specimens and sorting notes.
