- May 4 -
Put specimens nearly all day.
Spent the afternoon shooting at targets
and doing odd jobs around camp.
- May 5 -
I got 12 black turnstones and three
Alention Sand pipers at one shot this
morning. There were about 20s of
them on a little sands spit. They were
So thick that when one was crowded
out he would have to hover awhile
before he could find a place to light.
Mr. Stephens and Mr. Littlejohn each
got a Myrtle Warbler today. There
has been a big blue heron around
camp most every night lately.
We had a general hair cut in
camp today.
The ducks are choosing their mates
now and there are lots of scraps. I
saw 5-3 Old squaws chasing one
poor ♀. They were yelling "Anche quan'
de" for all they were worth. I saw
a Chickadee carrying nesting
material this evening.
