Banff, Oct. 15 all the conventional grizzly features. I was especially struck with height of configuration at shoulders - a veritable wave there, locking in the adjacent black and cinnamon bears. The grizzly's long front claws were very light colored - yellowish white. The Martens were out, active. Two of them, in adjacent pens, were trying to get at each other, screeching and biting at each other thru the wires. They are exceedingly quick in their movements. Two Magpies were in a cage; two foraging around outside! Later, we saw two more Nutcracker about town - still "camp"-robbers! Oct 16 In Saskatchewan: (Out of Moosejaw) about 8 a.m. In station, a dozen or so English Sparrows; on a cooler a bit east, some ducks including Mallards, and some Coots. Then almost continuous Wheat fields until well east of Regina. 10:40 a. at Indian Head: a rolling glaciated country; lots of water-worn boulders; no drainage; waterless; swales grown & jingles of small birch, willow, and margining cherry (?). Irregular-shaped
