Mustela visona
July 12 Point Barrow, Alaska
Paul Hurd found a weasel at Britton Manor
but was unable to capture it.
July 15 Paul Hurd caught a ? at Britton Manor and
brought it in. The weasel was decidedly less
heavy than other caught, but it had a light
fat deposit.
July 20 One adult seen near Thompson's enclosure.
July 29 Two adult males caught by hand, one along
gas - lane well road and one near L.W., to
east of ridge. Both were seen as they
watched me when I passed in the weasel.
Both bit viciously when handled. One
traded for adult ? caught July 4 at Shrowih
Lake (Frozen), was made into a skeleton; the other,
cought today, was skinned.
Aug. 7 Weasel that has been raiding traps on the
gird frilly caught when found in a green
sparrow trap. This or, including others,
has been responsible for killing of 30 or
40 birds in traps this season. Traps C1
and C2 were the only ones affected, indicating
the weasel was a resident for at least part
of the time. Animal caught was a large male
with patchy remnants of yellowish summer
pelage in rich new chocolate winter pelage.
