Maclean 1966 rolling uplands interrupted by broad, shallow swales of lush Carex. the upland vegetation resembles the ridges around camp - willows, scattered grass and seage clumps, much Pedicularus - all in mounds. the uplands did not support much bird life - occasional golden plovers and baird's sanpipers. Semi-pals were frequent along the banks of Nunivale Slough and its tributaries. Each swale supported one and occasionally two pairs of red-backs. Found two red-back nests in swales - 4 eggs each. Saw group of 7 black bream in the slough going out; coming back saw 3 and killed 2 for Eona's family. Heard dents overhead on two occasions. They may well be breeding there, however there is much territory to cover to find a nest. Also saw a group of 4 Dowitchers - surely ?? completed somewhere or non-breeders, as there is no Dowitcher habitat in the area. Spent the afternoon just
