evidently resting and heard me coming and
jumped up. I heard it and for about
10 minutes we both stood motionless
looking at each other thru the foliage.
Yesterday I saw three deer back of camp.
A Red-tailed Hawk was circling over the
stream side meadow.
Sept. 14, 1934
Took in a stand of timber on the
East facing slope north of camp. One
Green-Tailed Towhee seen and heard
in an open area. A Creeper and a
Red-breasted [illegible] were traveling
along with some Chickadees. Saw two
Creeper this morning but didn't get a
shot at them. Several Fuchers seen.
Hunted till noon, driving to Wells in the
afternoon.
Stopped at the place where Horned Jacks
were noted coming up. A small flock
was feeding along the moist wood areas.
Shot into a flock but failed to kill a
bird. After this one shot they flew high
and rapidly south and I never saw them
again.
