15 July Patnega River, 16 miles SE Cape Sabine, Alaska
from last years camp at "12 miles". Thompson
was exhausted and I was pretty beat.
16 July Waited for plane to me avoid. I walked back
to one cache at the old camp - covering the
distance in 20 minutes that took 3 hours by
boat. Tried to shoot the D Ron fish with
.22 but no luck. Took the largest yag and a
M. seconoma for next, plan to raise the
former. Saw a Hoebell's Gribble on the lake and
a Wolverine hunting around its edge.
17 July Patnega River, 7 mi SE Cape Sabine, Alaska
after scouting around this morning the
plane arrived. I had seen a Robin, Pacific
Loon, and shot an unknown sandpiper 2984.
It took 4 trips to get all our stuff down and
one to the base camp for oats, ammunition, etc.
Lite Savoie returned and glad that we have
limes.
18 July Walked to the ponds downstream. Mice/otter
activity is everywhere. Saw Kestrel (Snd.),
Semi-palated Sand. Semi-pal Clover, Golden
Clover, Red-throated & Arctic Loon, Pintail
& Bluegill, White-crowned Sparrow, Willow
