We saw our first bat tonight. It
was probably a myotis. Mr. Littlejohn
and I rowed over to an island about
3 or 4 miles from camp. On the way
over we saw a pair of Old squaws coming
towards the boat and Mr. Littlejohn
got both at one shot. We saw seven rock
ducks. We investigated an old eagle
nest on a point as we went over but
could not flush anything from it.
While I was on shore Mr. Littlejohn
shot a leutescient[?] warbler. When
we came to the little island we saw
a flock of about a dozen sandpilps
resting on a rocks. We fired three
barrels and got 4 Aleution[?] Sandpilps,
1 black turnstone and a surf bird
out of the flock. We found the
eagle nest on the east side of the island.
It was placed on an old dead stub
about 5-0 ft up. The birds were
around but we could not climb the
tree. We saw a flock of about 20
green winged teal also.
