pellets. The lake floor is covered
by numerous weasel tracks in the
grooves + depressions made by these
vehicle tracks, New droppings have
accumulated. It is hard to estimate
The density of these droppings since
the number would be extremely high,
but I believe a conservative estimate
would be several thousand /sq. ft. The
groas which were rather evident
in the lake last year has been
cut & most 1 the clippings have
washed out when the lake drained.
This leaves the floor exposed without
any cover (except in the areas of deep
water). Lemmings are seen there
commonly as they scurry back and forth.
New grass is coming up on the
drained portions of the lake. We
arrived at Ne waniqa at 2305 after
checking owl nest #4. Later that evening
I went out & checked on owl nest
#18.
