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.
