- 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.
