- May 2 - We went back after the eagle nest today but found that the crows had swiped the eggs. I saw 4 black turnstones but failed to get any. I shot a Sandwich sparrow on the island and Mr. Littlejohn found a crow nest with one egg in it. He shot a marbled murrelet and a rock duck on the way over. Miss Alexander bought another nice fresh brown bear skin for $35 today. The fur was fine and silky but not nearly as dark as the other. - May 3 - Took a ♀ Townsend Sparrow with nest and 4 slightly incubated eggs today. The nest was the one that I found a week ago today. A rufous hummingbird was buzzing around four bright red tomato cans around camp this morning. Mr. Littlejohn secured 2 & crossbills in good breeding condition this morning before breakfast. Found a red-breasted nuthatch building this morning. Lots of snow slides today.
