Oct. 17, in Ontario Lake Superior. An immature (Herring?) Bull in a paper-log raft out in the water. Woods are chiefly spruce and birch, a kind of short leafed pine(?) I don't know and larch (in swampy places, deciduous, now yellow and losing needles). Undergrowth abundant; and prostrate plants covering otherwise bare ground, cowpicons. Low places with standing water and mossy. Ground rolling, glaciated; 1 sand, water-worn pebbles, or else smoothed rock surfaces. 1:50 p.m. - Somewhere near Heron Bay (looking south over Lake Superior): Rock surfaces, glacier grooved, predominate; trees scattering and of small stature, longer in bottoms of depressions; many inland lakes and ponds; their but continuous vegetation everywhere not rocky, and even on rocks, bishons; streams run brown sparkle-water. Ten + Buteos (possibly Rough-legs) in flight, circling over last headlands - perhaps preparatory to striking south over the Lake. One seen just this minute, broad wings, white base of tail, short tail - is undoubtedly an American Roughleg in light phase. In a shallow grassy-margined little saw several Muskrat houses. But have seen no sign of beaver - all trapped out? This
