- April 29- We have taken 5 shrews to this date. It seems as tho one has to catch out the Peromyscus and then one can get Myocrotis and after the Myerotus are out of the way the shrews come in. The weather has been very warm and clear for six days now. The thermo- meter has gone as high as 70° but it always freezes ice at night. Crodudear brought us two mink which he had caught about Apr. 26- He said that he had only caught 11 during the entire winter. Several new birds have been there. Sandwich Sparrow, White-winged Doter. Ridgeou Gull or mont, marbled Murrelet, Bonaparte Gull. Townsend Sparrow. Northern red-breasted Sapsucker and a redbreasted Muthatelo. We saw a big owl flying over the beach the other night. We heard another big one and a little one. At least we thought it was an owl and we will probably find out later.
