- April 21 - Mr. Littlejohn caught a microtus last night and several minks tracks have been seen but none located yet. There is quite a well defined belt of elder bushes back about 100 yards from the beach. I saw a robin yesterday and shot a song sparrow and saw several others. I saw several chickadees today and secured 5 siskins yesterday. Most of them were males. A raven was shot over camp this morning. We went hunting grouse this evening and secure a $ and $. The $ was shot with the any! but she was not more than 10 ft. away on a log. The log was about 4 ft. off the ground and the dog was under the bird but she kept looking at us and didn't fly. The $ was sitting about 30 ft. up in a small spruce and was located by his shooting which sounded somewhat like a horned owl. The $ weighed slightly, over 3 lbz.
