April 21st, Windfall Harbor, Saw a siskin fly out from the beach a short distance, followed by a small sooty brown hawk. The siskin dodged about and the hawk soon gave up and went back into the timber. It was probably the Black Murrel. [Falco columbarius suckleyi]. I saw a pair of birds that I think were Crossbills. One was brownish gray and the other looked like the immature saffron- colored filmouse, Mammals are few, and so far comprise Sitka White-footed Mice. [Peromyscus sitkensis] Sitka Meadow Mice [Mierotus sitkensis] and a Deer that Miss Alexander saw. I saw tracks of our Mink [Mustela] 23rd, Saw a Varied Thrush [Ixoreus marinus), carrying nut on tail. Saw the first Butterfly. It was on the beach, about noon, and flew up into a big spruce. The species is new to me,
