Journal Tubia. Went up Carbon Mt. + found the 2 Longtail pairs still present. - Continued up ridge to highest point where there is a stone cairn & a bench marker. Proceeded on to end of ridge down to a stream which cuts through it. Located several more Longtail pairs which are plotted on map. Found a fledgling chick which looks like it might be a wapiti on the ridge near its highest part. It was flight in good shape, brought it back with me. Returned via same route, picked up scale. Left in slough, weighed newly hatched chick of pairs (Lt)#11. Got back to tent at 5. On way in found a least weasel 1/2 to 2/3 grown. Saw one adult. Returned to spot + set a live trap after supper. Went on to Owl ridge + watched for an hour. Saw only 8 of pair #3. Sun came out at 6 + remained shining until 10 PM. All morning it was cold, windy & snowing. All peaks had snow on them even little bit on Carbon Mt. July 14 Citroner River Alaska Plane day. Plane didn't come. Stayed in in morning + finished paper for FAP also re copied the whole thing to make it legible. Remained in tent all day. Weather lousy.
