August 26 was with another
was eating purple berries. # 188
was feeding hopping on the ground. The
# 189 was feeding from a white flower
which grows close to the ground. The # 190
was about to land on a branch
when I shot him. Used a half load because I was
afraid wouldn't hit him. Other than
that I have been using 22's on everything.
The birds are very tame here. I think
I will have no problem with 22 shells. I still
have a couple of half loads. In a Orrell
just I shot # 191
The # 182
# 186
were not eaten or covered with ants or insects
as they were else where. The rain began
about 1:30 and at 4:00 when I wanted to
set traps it was a heavy downpour which
stopped about 7:30 PM It is very very cold
here. # Ray Mc Diarmid brought us some
birds from & net I helped him & Dr. Peters
Raven put up for bats. # 192
# 193
No mosquitoes or tiny
insects. I hunted in the dense areas but
they were more quiet than the slightly
open areas. Bird greens & feell little
puddles.
