- April 22 - We put up the grouse today. They had nothing in their crops but the ends of the spruce leaves. Their flesh is about the same color as quail but is a little coarser and perhaps a little drier. Mr. Stephens shot a Canada goose today that weighed 11 lbs. It was clear and warm today 52° at 2 o'clock. Mr. Littlejohn shot a greater Scaup duck this evening. - April 23 - I caught 3 mice today and shot a raven on the way back to camp. Mr. Littlejohn also shot a raven and got a goose that weighed 11½ lbs. The dog got into the tent last night and wiped 2 grouse that we had just put up. He tore mine all to pieces and went and buried the other one. I got a g red-breasted Scaup Muttlate this morning so I have been pretty busy putting up stuff. It got up to 60° today.
