- April 26- We put up 16 specimens today: 10 snice, 2 shrews, 2 meadow mice. Miss Alexander caught 9 peromyscus, the biggest haul yet. Mr. Littlejohn got a pair of marbled murrelets and a pint geod quillornent. The tide was high last night and Mr. Littlejohn had just gone to bed when he heard a goose honking close by. He crawled out of bed and grabbed the shotgun and peeked out and saw the goose about 50 yards away. He shot and got it with one, 6 shot. I went after a grouse this evening and soon had due trees. I tried lining up from various directions and finally concluded that she was in the top of a medium sized spruce about 20 ft high. I wore a pattern in the snow around the tree by walking around looking for birds. He kept hooting all the while. I decided that there were 3 spots that might be a grouse and shot at each with the shotgun but the grouse just kept on hooting.
